Summary/Abstract: The text analyzes the place occupied by the French university in the processes of building and disseminating critical attitudes that influence the shape of public debate and political, economic and legal choices, which co-decide on the forms of the development processes of the state and institutions, providing knowledge, including critical knowledge, for their implementation. The answer to this question leads through a socio-historical analysis of the place occupied by the university on the map of institutions of high education and “producing” scientific knowledge in France: universities, CNRS, Grandes Écoles, Scientific Institutes and the effects of the university reforms since 1968. It also requires analysis of how scientific and student careers and university cultures can be built, which co-create the structure of hierarchical relationships between the groups forming the university community (teachers, students, etc.).
