The higher education sector is experiencing an escalating pace of change. Even colleges and universities with the greatest resources and strongest brands are confronting change, particularly as a result of the digital revolution that is radically impacting modes of learning and accessibility to knowledge. These changes are driven by market pressures i.e., by the demands and expectations of students and faculty. At the same time, all of higher education continues its evolution in response to ongoing price pressures, to reduced governmental support, to growing competition from the for-profit higher education sector, to its own ethical challenges, and to changes in the regulatory environment. Boards, presidents, provosts and CFOs are addressing these risks and challenges with new strategies and unique action plans that are a far cry from traditional approaches to higher education.

Monahan offers a critique of an agonistic interpretation of Hegelian recognition as exclusively manifested by and through struggle, drawing out Hegel's positive accounts of alternative manifestations of recognition. Furthermore, he argues that getting Hegel right on recognition actually opens up fertile theoretical ground for laying out positive accounts of human freedom and liberation.
