THE UNIVERSITY IN E-SOCIETY
The author problematizes the development of the university in a virtual
society, a highly developed form of communication and involvement in virtual
communities, but without any physical presence of the members of community
themselves. Can the university, in a community which does not acknowledge
geographical limitations and therefore does not correspond to the original definition
of society, offer a new possibility for education to become the true understanding,
to encourage development and to shape an individual, or will the
university (re)direct towards political and economic interests, towards commercialization
and economization of knowledge.

“SYSTEM” IN PHILOSOPHY AS A CONSEQUENCE
OF THE INSTITUTIONAL CONTEXT OF UNIVERSITIES
Importance of the educational context in the creation of works of philosophy
is known well by the historians of philosophy. Without a target audience
consisted by disciples, any philosophical work could not formulated
from Aristotle’s works through Hegel’s lectures to the present context of a
philosophical work in our today academic life. First aim of my lecture is to
analyse the connection between this educational context and the phenomenon
of the “system” in philosophy. Second aim of mine is to characterise a new cultural
requirement in the 19th-century European philosophy for philosophical
system-building. Third topic of my lecture is the adaptation of the requirement
of “system-philosophy” to the program of establishing national cultures in the
19th-century Central Europe. The consequence of this program in the age of
decline of philosophical systems is the last topic of my contribution.
