Summary/Abstract: As author notes, in contemporary culture it is promoted subjectivism, relativism, hedonism and usability. We have to remember that people, not other beings, animate, develop or degrade culture. In the culture person is the most important and therefore the task of the university is the humanization of culture. It seems that contemporary culture, through the implementation and consolidation of axiological and relational thinking of students, makes it difficult to precisely contact with the real person and its humanity. There is therefore a need to drive yourself into being - identify substances and mini links which exist between these substances. The author states that the acquisition of such skills will bring wisdom. University paideia must therefore be improving human wisdom, because it the most fully captures the human bond of truth and goodness, and it solids staying at what is true and good.
