In a lecture given in Charlottesville in 2019, Thomas Pfau describes the nature of the disorder in the world shaped by the assumptions of economic liberalism. He looks particularly at the effects of the liberal orientation in higher education. Students in universities are consumers, expecting a good return on their investment. The result is “a spiritual wasteland of a pre-professional meritocracy.” In conclusion, Pfau muses on some strategies for “re-spiritualizing” education.
