Summary:

In A New Agenda for Higher Education, the authors endorse higher
educationâs utility for enhancing the practical as well as
intellectual dimensions of life by developing a third, different
conception of educational purpose. Based on The Carnegie Foundation
for the Advancement of Teaching seminar that brought together
educators from six professional fields with faculty from the liberal
arts and sciences, A New Agenda for Higher Education proposes an
educational aim of âœpractical reason,❠focusing on the
interdependence of liberal education and professional training.
