Summary/Abstract: The article describes the changes in the attitude of scholars. These changes relate to the understanding of what knowledge is, and therefore which purposes this knowledge serves. This text draws attention to the fact that often the decisive element in the value of transferred knowledge is the economic factor. This modern utilitarianism, appropriated people with their ambitions and skills. Thus, in this reflection, we find discussion about the value of knowledge, scholars’ attitudes, the role and place of education in the modern world, and factors that modify the shape of modern education and its officers such as: selfishness or consumer rationality.
