Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the issue of the higher education in the technological age and discusses the way the higher education should be conceived of to become able to respond to the challenges the current global society faces. We argue that the university should aim towards a new social role the global society urgently needs: it should become the space of critical inquiry and of evaluation of every knowledge, power, doctrine and practice. The university should serve the aims of the dominant social doctrine, but should also articulate the basic global problems, promote a critical public discourse and call for social action.
