Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the idea of the university from the perspective of creative communication. The theses developed are: (1) the idea of university covers both the orientation to different spiritual regions united into one scientific field and the division of scientific body into separated parts with special ways of communication; (2) the attitudes of Enlightenment that led to the removal of a previous base; (3) university as a knot of creative communication between an individual to be formatted and the society to be created; (4) the erosion of scientific communication following the loss of a hierarchical structure of knowledge and the resulting lack of universal scientific truth and of normal scientific method; (5) the more pluralistic communication channels in the sciences and the fight for normality and universality among competitive universities.
