摘要：Wilson Dickinson: Decades ago, Heidegger presciently observed that information—and the positivist epistemological framework that accompanies it—was coming to serve as a constricting limit for thinking.1 This constriction does not seem to be due merely to some kind of cognitive mistake or conviction, but it seems to be constantly reinforced by the practices of the university, extending from the classroom practice of lecture and examination, to the self-understanding of scholars as researchers.2 It seems that one of the more common forms of resistance to this tendency is to counter this secular model of the research university with a more confessional approach to education. So rather than simply serving as a conduit for the accumulation and communication of information, universities redirect their concern toward the formation of students. Might there be a third way forward, or one that hauntingly inhabits the boundaries between these secular and religious options? Could you imagine a sort of post-secular university?
