While the economic approach has numerous and potent advocates in the modern, rationalized world, those opting for the humanist approach have to struggle for attention and understanding. The author aims to highlight the conflict between the two seemingly contradictory visions of the university in her sociological commentary about the debate over the importance of the humanities in Poland and worldwide. There exists, however, a kind of ontological meta-frame which allows the rhetoric of a ‘factory of knowledge’ and a ‘temple of knowledge’ to be accommodated. It consists in thinking of universities in universalistic categories, which should be the concern of the state as it seeks Poland’s civilizational advance—in the full meaning of the phrase.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={The Civilizational Obligations of the State and University — Considerations on the Debate over the Role of the Humanities}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/115919/PDF-MASTER/2014-4-05.pdf}, keywords={university, education, the humanities, civilization, the state}, }
