ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to explore the nature of liberal education as the idea of a university in light of the distinction between language and literature. Oakeshott suggests an unique logic that separate between information or text and judgement or language. This distinction may helps us to offer a fuller meaning of liberal education and to justify the liberal idea of education in a university. To accomplish this end, we look at an Oakeshott’s idea of a university and suggest some implications the idea of university through examing the distinction between language and literature. According to the Oakeshott’s view, information or text is composed of objective fact which are extract results of thinking. The transmission of information or text is mainly delivered by ‘instructing’. In contrast, judgement or language is constituted of different ways of thinking or a subtle expression modes that are not propositioned. It includes tones of voice, hand gestures, facial expressions. The transmission of judgement or language is mainly delivered by ‘imparting’. Education is an initiating student into an inheritance of human achievements. The component of this worlds are expressions of human minds. Therefore a university should pursue the idea of liberal education, which are to participate in a conversation with his or her own voice. And a participation could only learn a language in a university that there is coexistence of various voices.
