UNIVERSITY: FROM SPECULATION TO CRISIS
In this presentation I will focus on a problem that German philosopher
Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling (1775–1854) explored in his lectures dedicated
to academy disposition, which were titled and published as On University
Studies (Vorlesungen über die Methode des akademischen Studiums).
I will particularly focus on the first three out of fourteen Schelling’s lectures,
which dealt with the absolute idea of science, scientific and moral disposition
of academy, and with the preconditions for academic studies. According
to Schelling, achieving the ideally perceived knowledge at a university is not
only possible, but also necessary, due to ongoing activities of transforming reality
into ideality, which results in knowledge. Presenting Schelling’s teaching
on methods of academic studies will serve as an orientation for evaluating the
state in which university finds itself today.
Therefore, in my presentation I will also respond to the current state of
university for which I argue that is first and foremost marked by crisis. The
loss of identity of knowledge and action, which characterizes the foundations
of modern university, leads to dispersion of productive strengths of science,
and consequently to elimination of knowledge as an unconditional purpose of
research and scientific work in general. As a result of that, just as Austrian scientist
Konrad Paul Liessmann stated, knowledge loses its meaning in society
and its importance is replaced by information and information management.

SVEUČILIŠTE U E-DRUŠTVU
Autor razmatra razvoj sveučilišta u virtualnom društvu visoko razvijenih
oblika komuniciranja i sudjelovanja u virtualnim zajednicama, ali bez fizičke
prisutnosti samih članova. Može li sveučilište, u zajednici koja ne poznaje
geografske granice i koja samim time iskače iz izvorne definicije ‘zajednice’,
ponuditi novu mogućnost obrazovanju da postane istinsko razumijevanje, potiče
razvitak i oblikovanje pojedinca, ili će se usmjeravati prema političkim i
ekonomskim interesima, prema komercijaliziranju i ekonimiziranju znanja.
