ABSTRACT
This chapter explores a Crucible Moment: College Learning and Democracys Future brought together many aspects of the student and education is a recent effort from the academic perspective to expand beyond a more exclusively cognitive approach to higher education. It discusses on the Robert Clothier, who described student personnel work as a leaven brought to bear on the student by all who work at the institution and consider the student, first and foremost, as an individual and in all his or her many aspects, in everything the individual does. The chapter demonstrates how phenomenological philosophy and then deconstruction both treat the issue in a way that reasonably resolves it and provides a basis for a new philosophy of education. Brown ultimately argued that student development should be the primary goal of higher education. The chapter reviewed the basic ideas in modern philosophy which led to phenomenology and deconstruction, and then these philosophies themselves.
