Stefan Folaron on the Ethos of the University Yesterday and Today



Abstract

For some time now in the modern world there is a debate on higher education, conditioned by various factors about the nature of globalization and the new challenges with the increasing role of the market. Various possible positions on the shape of the university, its scientific research, academic cooperation and academic education at the highest level are presented. They speak on the subject by representatives of the humanities, natural sciences and engineering. One of the representatives of the humanities, who shared his reflections on this subject, was Stefan Folaron, a scholar not yet known in modern Polish philosophy and science. Their views and comments on the twenty-first century vision of the university presented mainly in
his work: Etos profesora XVI wieku. Uniwersytet — człowiek (Professors Ethos of the Sixteenth Century. University — Man). He demanded the necessity of seeking a model of a university that would be adequate to changing reality but would remain faithful to its centuries-old mission.
