The Idea of the University (w/ David McKerracher, Ann Snelgrove of Theory Underground)

In this discussion, David, Ann and I discuss the importance of thinking The Idea of the University in the contemporary neoliberal and digitised political-economic landscape.  The Idea of the University is a book by existentialist philosopher Karl Jaspers, and written to serve an educational reconstruction project in post-World War II Germany.  Now we discuss this book in our historical context, but with the aim the same: to think the Idea of the University as such.
