Summary/Abstract: This article presents some research in the field of the philosophy of education, which considers the concept of the University: its history, its meaning, its function in society and, above all, the place of philosophy in/at the University. The issue is quite tender and almost painful for us, given the reality of the Lithuanian educational system and the lamentable status of the humanities in Lithuanian universities. The present text proposes to look at the academy and at the institution of philosophy, which even today continues to be considered the "key institution of the academy", with Jacques Derrida whose relevance to the field is undisputable.
