University and totalitarian systems

Summary/Abstract: Totalitarian system roots deeper than the human flaws, which manifests itself in the desire to own or dominate. At the foundation of any totalitarian system there is some image of a human being, which makes it possible or impossible to take possession of her or him. The above mentioned image may be derived from mythology, religion, ideology or science. It emerges not merely in military circles, among those longing for combat, nor among the profit-craving bankers, since it may also emerge at universities, among scholars who lacking awareness in terms of methodology and being ignorant of limitations to every domain of science attempt to reduce the concepts of a human being to the level of impersonal being. As a consequence, they facilitate it for the totalitarian system to successfully promote the anti-human civilisation all over the world. Further to the above, the considerations on totalitarian system also have to take into account science and university circles. That idea was also presented in the numerous speeches of John Paul II, who addressing the scientific circles warned them against totalitarian system which may take possession of university circles and scholars.
