The Condition of a Modern University — Is There a Problem?
Journal Title: Future Human Image - Year 2019, Vol 11, Issue
Abstract
The beginning of the 21st century became the time of the fall of the traditional idea of the university’s functioning. The roots of this phenomenon could be seen in the 1960s when the paradigm of science changed. A commonly held attitude to university education changed to instrumental. Pragmatic use of acquired knowledge has become a reference point for many learners. The idea of the university, which was formed at the beginning of the 19th century in Germany by Wilhelm von Humboldt, and then in England by the rector of the Dublin University John Newman, is now collapsing. Despite the preoccupation of the main postulates with these differing visions of the functioning of the university, today the term “university spirit” whose main goal should be to seek the truth seems not to be relevant any more. Nowadays people become more pragmatic and mostly consider the university to be only the next level of his professional career. Nowadays, we have a race for a better future, but we should not forget that the university that determines this future is the driving force behind it
