Gasset wins Again
For anyone with an interest in the purpose and objectives of higher education, read some pages from the Spanish Philosopher of the early 1900s.

Accessible and highly intellectual (at the same time) this book is great for the philosophy student, or any grad student/future professor in any field.

It should be part of the modern debate over the purpose of the university: Should learning train the mind to think or act as mere training for the "real world?"
