An imaginative tour of the contemporary university as it could be a place to discover selfknowledge, meaning, and purpose.What if college were not just a means of acquiring credentials, but a place to pursue our formation as whole persons striving to lead lives of meaning and purpose? In Undeclared, ChrisHigginsconfronts the contemporary university in a bid to reclaim a formative mission for higher education. In a series of searching essays and pointed interludes,Higginschallenges us to acknowledge how far our practices have drifted from our ideals, asking What would it look like to build a college from theground up to support selfdiscoveryand personal integration? What does it mean to be a public university, and are there any left? How can the humanities help the jobified university begin to take vocation seriously?Cutting through the underbrush of received ideas,Higginsfollows the insight where it leads, clearing a path from the corporate multiversity to the renaissance in higher education that was Black Mountain College and back again. Along the way, we tour a campus bent on becoming a shopping mall, accompany John Dewey through a midlife crisis, and witness the first "happening. Through diverse and grounded philosophical engagements, Undeclared assembles the resources to expand the contemporary educational imagination.
