In A New Agenda for Higher Education, the authors endorse
higher educationâ??s utility for enhancing the practical as
well as intellectual dimensions of life by developing a third,
different conception of educational purpose. Based on The Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching seminar that brought
together educators from six professional fields with faculty from
the liberal arts and sciences, A New Agenda for Higher
Education proposes an educational aim of â??practical
reason,â?? focusing on the interdependence of liberal
education and professional training.
