Modern universities' inheritance of medieval universities and its rebellion against medieval universities
As "knowledge community",with the development of modernization,the meaning of university has changed from a guild organization of teachers and students in the Middle Ages to a top institution of higher education.Although both of institutions are called university,they are alienated in the process of modernization.In respect of character,structure and function,university not only inherits its traditional meaning,but also revolts to itself.When we criticize the modern university and reconstruct the modern university system,because of the disagreement between the nature and function of Middle Ages University and the modernity of today's university,it's a non-rational way to compare it with the Middle Ages University.
