- even individuals are being made to think of themselves as one-person enterprises Love is increasingly hard to find & we struggle to lead meaningful lives In What about Me?

Across the world universities are more numerous than they have ever been yet at the same time there is unprecedented confusion about their purpose & scepticism about their value What Are Universities For? offers a spirited & compelling argument for completely rethinking the way we see our universities & why we need them Stefan Collini challenges the common claim that universities need to show that they help to make money in order to justify getting more money Instead he argues that we must reflect on the different types of institution & the distinctive roles they play In particular we must recognize that attempting to extend human understanding which is at the heart of disciplined intellectual enquiry can never be wholly harnessed to immediate social purposes
