Abstract
The text is about a tendency currently existing in the academic circles, a tendency to place a scientist’s individual career above fundamental university values such as an ethos, unselfi shness and vocation. The author shows cultural and civilisation determinants of this tendency as well as its manifestations: the primacy of pragmatism, effi ciency and success or the commercialisation of scientifi c research. As the remedy for this state of matters she points out a rebirth of the essence of academic tradition going back to the ancient Academia, that is a rebirth of a selfl ess attitude not only towards establishing the truth but also towards students. Pointing to such thinkers as J. Woroniecki, J.W. Dawid, J. Tischner, W. Chudy, Tomasz z Akwinu, T. Gadacz, the author propounds a return to the idea of vocation and a master who remains in a service relationship with students. The ethos of a postmodern university lies in the renewal of personal academic relationships.
