Generous Thinking: A Radical Approach to Saving the University. Fitzpatrick, K. Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore, February, 2019. 🏷️ /unreadabstract bibtex How do we solve the social and political crisis in America? The university may be the answer.Higher education occupies a difficult place in twenty-first-century American culture. Universities―the institutions that bear so much responsibility for the future health of our nation―are at odds with the very publics they are intended to serve. As Kathleen Fitzpatrick asserts, it is imperative that we re-center the mission of the university to rebuild that lost trust. In Generous Thinking, Fitzpatrick roots this crisis in the work of scholars. Critical thinking―the heart of what academics do―can today often negate, refuse, and reject new ideas. In an age characterized by rampant anti-intellectualism, Fitzpatrick charges the academy with thinking constructively rather than competitively, building new ideas rather than tearing old ones down. She urges us to rethink how we teach the humanities and to refocus our attention on the very human ends―the desire for community and connection―that the humanities can best serve. One key aspect of that transformation involves fostering an atmosphere of what Fitzpatrick dubs "generous thinking," a mode of engagement that emphasizes listening over speaking, community over individualism, and collaboration over competition.Fitzpatrick proposes ways that anyone who cares about the future of higher education can work to build better relationships between our colleges and universities and the public, thereby transforming the way our society functions. She encourages interested stakeholders to listen to and engage openly with one another's concerns by reading and exploring ideas together; by creating collective projects focused around common interests; and by ensuring that our institutions of higher education are structured to support and promote work toward the public good. Meditating on how and why we teach the humanities, Generous Thinking is an audacious book that privileges the ability to empathize and build rather than simply tear apart. 【摘要翻译】我们如何解决美国的社会和政治危机？高等教育在二十一世纪的美国文化中占据着艰难的地位。高等教育在二十一世纪的美国文化中占据着一个艰难的位置。大学–这个对我们国家未来的健康发展负有重大责任的机构–与它们所要服务的公众之间存在着矛盾。正如凯瑟琳-菲茨帕特里克（Kathleen Fitzpatrick）所言，我们必须重新定位大学的使命，重建失去的信任。在《慷慨的思考》一书中，菲茨帕特里克将这一危机的根源归结于学者的工作。批判性思维–学术工作的核心–在今天往往会否定、拒绝和排斥新思想。在这个反智主义盛行的时代，菲茨帕特里克要求学术界以建设性而非竞争性的方式进行思考，建立新思想而非推翻旧思想。她敦促我们重新思考人文学科的教学方式，重新关注人文学科能够最好地服务于人类的目的–对社区和联系的渴望。菲茨帕特里克提出了一些方法，希望任何关心高等教育未来的人都能努力在我们的高校和公众之间建立更好的关系，从而改变我们社会的运行方式。她鼓励有兴趣的利益相关者通过共同阅读和探讨各种观点、围绕共同利益创建集体项目，以及确保我们的高等教育机构能够支持和促进公益事业的发展，来倾听并坦诚地参与彼此关注的问题。慷慨的思考》是一本大胆的著作，它探讨了我们如何以及为何教授人文学科，强调了移情和建设的能力，而不是简单的撕裂。
