"The Idea of a University Defined and Illustrated" is a book explaining the purpose of university education. This book is the first in a series of nine "discourses" on University Teaching given at the inauguration of the Catholic University of Ireland. The author provides the classic defense of liberal education, articulates a Christian vision for the unity of knowledge, and articulates the friend-foe relationship in which the Church has often found itself regarding higher learning.
