<div dir="ltr"><div>Humbolt gives an important place to "the demands of the state" in a university. Madrasa also are educational institutions where the demands of the state (often a theocracy) play a crucial part. Would Humboldt respect the demands of an Islamic state that follows the Koranic laws?

Hello Murat<br>
<br>
As moderator I'm just about to transition into a new week of our theme<br>
here, but before I did I wanted to acknowledge your question here and<br>
offer that I'm not sure I'd know what you meant to ask. Can you provide<br>
some more context for your question?<br>
<br>
Thank you<br>
<br>
Kevin<br>

"When Wilhelm von Humboldt wrote of the university, he described it as a<br>
³medium²that which was in between the demands of the state and the<br>
demands of science (Wissenbchaft)."<br>
<br>
Chad, given that quote, what do you think of Madrasas?<br>
