纽曼与加塞特大学思想之比较及其现实意义

The Comparison of Ideas of University between Newman and Gasset and Its Realistic Significance

纽曼和加塞特对于大学里理智培养的合理性有类似的看法,而对大学里专业教育和科学研究的合法地位却持有不同意见,前者主张将专业教育和科学研究完全排除出大学,后者则主张以理智培养和专业教育共同造就优秀的专业人员,同时以科研为基础,保证大学教育的质量。二者的大学思想都有一定的合理之处,而比较分析则更有助于认识二者思想的重心与差异,同时也为反思当前大学使命与改革大学教育等问题提供有益借鉴。
