Why pursue a university education? Some people answer in terms of the purpose of getting a good job. Others respond in terms of the aim of earning more money. Still others answer in terms of the goal of promoting social justice. Drawing on C. S. Lewis´s belief that the purpose of life is the experience of perfect happiness, Stewart Goetz explains Lewis´s simple but overlooked view that a person should pursue a university education for the pleasure that comes from higher-level intellectual activity.

Goetz not only sharpens our understanding of Lewis´s life and work in higher education, but also leads us to question why we attend, study, teach, or research at a university.
