Uniwersytet – wolność – bezinteresowność. Tradycyjny etos i współczesne przemiany tożsamości uniwersytetu
University - Liberty - Selflessness. The traditional ethos and contemporary changes in the identity of University

Summary/Abstract: What currently becomes more and more vivid is the public debate on the transformations in the functioning of university and on their directions. In order to focus properly on the problems undertaken here, it is worth to refer to some remarks on academic liberty and the liberty of studying, which are formulated in the context of describing the secret university education in Poland under the Nazi occupation. It is this secret teaching, based on self-organization and free from an administrative institutional framework, which turns out to be the model of university liberty. This peculiar experience of academic freedom, showing the essence of academic learning and teaching, should be remembered and taken into account in all political and administrative (or even bureaucratic) attempts at regulating the functioning of autonomic university and other academic level schools.
