Synopsis "The Idea of a University (Notre Dame Series in Great Books)"

"The Idea of a University [is an] eloquent defense of a liberal education which is perhaps the most timeless of all [Newman's] books and certainly the one most intellectually accessible to readers of every religious faith and of none. . . . [O]nly one who has read The Idea of a University in its entirety, especially the nine discourses, can hope to understand why its reputation is so high: why the first reading of this book has been called an 'epoch' in the life of a college man; why Walter Pater thought it 'the perfect handling of a theory'; why the historian G. M. Young has ranked it with Aristotle's Ethics among the most valuable of all works on the aim of Education; or why Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch told his students at Cambridge that 'of all the books written in these hundred years there is perhaps none you can more profitably thumb and ponder.'" --from the introduction by Martin J. Svaglic

John Henry Newman (1801–1890) fue un teólogo, poeta y cardenal inglés, reconocido por su influencia en la vida intelectual y religiosa del siglo XIX. Nacido en Londres, se formó en Oxford, donde se convirtió en figura central del Movimiento de Oxford, que buscaba revitalizar la espiritualidad de la Iglesia Anglicana.

En 1845, tras una profunda reflexión teológica, se convirtió al catolicismo, lo que marcó un hito en su vida y en el pensamiento religioso británico. Fue ordenado sacerdote católico en 1847 y más tarde fundó el Oratorio de San Felipe Neri en Birmingham. En 1879, el papa León XIII lo creó cardenal, reconociendo su contribución a la teología y a la educación.

Newman defendió la importancia de la conciencia individual en la fe y escribió obras influyentes como Apología pro Vita Sua y The Idea of a University. Fue canonizado por el papa Francisco en 2019, siendo venerado como San John Henry Newman.
