Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the university from the point of view of the social doctrine of the Church as a special institution which contributes to the creation of the common good. The ethical mission of the university serving man in the modern social context is presented. Finding the values rooted in man as a social being, is a prerequisite for creating community. The ethical and social principles of Catholic social teaching serve this process, thus the paper is trying to compile their canonic potential with the educational mission of the university, whose fundamental task remains the development of a wise, honest and good man. A proper and full concept of man is fundamental, because it determines the quality of the common good.
