University of Paris

The University of Paris was the roof of the most famous academic teaching institutions in Paris, not least the Sorbonne, whose name was synonymous in general usage to designate the university. It developed from the stronghold of scholasticism to the cadre of Nobel Prize winners. It has survived monarchy, revolution and restoration, but not the student riots of 1968. Since 1970 was such a thorough decentralization and relaunch wave that a recognition of the tradition succession is difficult. The Paris Universitas (2005-2010) corresponded organization of the old University of Paris, most likely.

The old university

The universitas magistrorum et scholarium ( association of teachers and scholars ) was recognized in 1200 by Philip II. The rather sized as a scientific institution of the jurisdiction of the church was assumed. Mind was to deprive the students who were sometimes perceived by the population as a nuisance to the perhaps somewhat rude grasp of their security forces. It eventually consisted of theologians, with which the Church still had in mind a lot. For the same reason, colleges, designed to facilitate the students the expensive life in Paris through affordable housing developed. The most famous was the Collège de Sorbonne for budding theologians. Even country team performance oriented colleges were established. The names of today's student compounds recall this development. All together formed the Latin Quarter. Furthermore, developed at the end of four faculties: La Faculté des arts de Paris with the task of a kind of basic study of the liberal arts and the higher faculties of law, medicine and theology.

Among the heroes of this era include Albertus Magnus (1200-1280), Bonaventure (1221-1274), Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) and Boethius of Dacia.

The Oriental schism brought a lot of the popular theologians and canon lawyers of the University of fame and glory, the Western Schism, a French affair, resulted in the still ultra-Catholic country to alienation of Rome and the idea of separation of church and state. This led in turn to a loss of influence and reputation of the university. Absolutism and Enlightenment were everywhere engine for start-ups, but in France it led to the closure of the university during the French Revolution, 1793., The entire educational system of the school was a matter for the nation. The friend of Sciences dictator Napoleon Bonaparte was enough in 1806 with the Université impériale the education system to retain them.

The new university

It was only during the Third Republic under Félix Faure, the nouvelle Université de Paris in 1896 re-established and equipped by Henri Paul Nénot in sequence with magnificent buildings.
