| dc.description.abstract | The history of the modern university is ,first and foremost ,the history of the unfolding of complex problematics of
a planetary condition through established scientific and
humanistic inquiry. Defined as such, the work of the university
is not only to advance solutions for those problems that
interchangeably favour state and public use of reason but also
to discover, in the framing of the problem, the very conditions
for constructing perspectives about a future that is radically
other. In this sense, the demand placed on the university is
always doubled, so that its interpretive, analytical, and critical
work cuts into the non-identity of past and future. To this
extent, the ideals of higher education mimic the processes of
research and define the relationship established between the
professoriate, the student body, and the university’s allied
publics. The scientific revolutions | en_US |
