More about the book

The book challenges the conventional Western narrative of the university's origins, arguing that Eastern institutions in China, India, and the Arab world predate the Platonic Academy and the University of Bologna. It highlights the advanced and structured development of these Eastern universities, emphasizing their contributions to the humanities and sciences. By providing a historical account of various schools and universities, the text seeks to broaden the understanding of higher education's roots beyond a Eurocentric perspective.
