\n <\/em> Higher education is primarily a process of self-formation in an institutionalised setting in which the purpose is to enhance student agency in all respects (intellectual, cultural, social, economic etc) and there is no intrinsic conflict between these different applications. Higher education as self-formation has a long history in the Confucian tradition and in Western education became most developed in the German idea of Bildung, where the autonomous individual is situated in the public sphere and immersed in reason. However, both individuals and higher education are socially situated and the crucial contribution of learning and research to public good(s) needs more attention. The paper problematizes the alignment of individual formation with social formation and suggests a focus on this intersection. It reflects on approaches to public good(s) in higher education in the Chinese civilizational zone and Europe\/North America.<\/p>\n
