Sagovsky, recalling J. H. Newman's The Idea of a University, goes back to first principles, and reflects on the way in which God is known in the world, and how that knowledge generates and supports human existence.

He presses the question of who are the providers of modern education, and whether government policy or market realities really should determine the function of a university.
