Uniwersytet - Idea w procesie wytwarzania wartości akademickich
The University-Idea in the Process of Creating Academic Values

Summary/Abstract: In his idea of university, Karl Jaspers makes an attempt to link and commonise two worlds: the spiritual and the physical. This seems to me to be of fundamental importance. Even though I wish to uphold his approach, my thoughts proceed in a different direction. I want to combine the university’s transcendent and pragmatic references, but for me, the factor that holds them together is the process of creating existential and instrumental values. The idea of university is expressed – in my approach – in university-specific links between the generation of both kinds of values, which is reflected by the concept of university-idea. A university understood and operating in this way is concurrently an institution and an organisation, a combination of the axionormative and operational orders. Its development depends on whether its social space-time continuum offers good conditions for personal and collective development to all of its participants.
