This paper examines the loss of culture as a possible effect of the neoliberalisation of education, especially higher education. The paper opens with a brief comparison between the humanistic education founded on the idea of culture (i.e. Bildung) and its modern-day neoliberal form, with the help of José Ortega y Gasset’s reflections on the mission of higher education. It then discusses certain aspects of the historical development of libraries and of the figure of the public intellectual with a view to bringing into relief some negative repercussions that can, and already do affect the university. The paper also explores aspects of John Dewey’s and Theodor W. Adorno’s thoughts to draw lessons with respect to how experience and culture are not only essential components of education as a whole, but also elements of resilience amidst a series of contemporary challenges that threaten its purpose and meaning. The paper draws to a close with some suggestive yet inconclusive remarks on the promises inherent in existing and possible alternatives to the neoliberalised university.

高等教育中的新自由主义与文化:论大学人文性的丧失及其重建的可能性

本文将文化的丧失作为教育,尤其是高等教育的新自由化的可能影响进行研究。本文首先借助何塞·奥尔特加·加塞特 (José Ortega y Gasset) 对高等教育使命的反思,简要比较了以文化理念(即 Bildung)为基础的人文教育与其现代新自由主义形式。然后,它讨论了图书馆历史发展和公共知识分子形象的某些方面,以期消除一些可能并且已经影响大学的负面影响。该论文还探讨了约翰·杜威和西奥多·W·阿多诺的思想,以吸取经验和文化如何不仅是整个教育的重要组成部分,以及在威胁其目的和意义的一系列当代挑战中的复原力元素。这篇论文的结尾是对新自由化大学的现有和可能替代方案中固有的承诺的一些暗示性但不确定的评论。
