Ten reasons why colleges and universities should educate character
Teaching virtue literacy
Character formation in the multiversity
How might universities provide an education that supports whole-person formation and prepares students for meaningful, flourishing lives? Higgins’s erudite book exposes the failure of the modern multiversity when it comes to formative education and proposes a re-imagined ideal of general and vocational education that elevates the humanities and celebrates the adventure of learning. I agree with much of Higgins’s analysis but suggest that his asse…

En 2015 los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) de las Naciones Unidas llevaron esta visión aún más lejos y establecieron en el ODS 4 que «los conocimientos, …
