Summary/Abstract: Kant’s articulation of the idea of the university, which is based on the Enlightenment vision of the university as an institution fundamental to the development of learning, in a historical sense represents the articulation of the classical idea of a modern, Humboldt type of university, and numerous elements are woven into it that possess permanent relevance due to the comprehensive anthropological paradigm according to which the purpose of a true university is the development of man’s powers and the development of man as a person, as a citizen and as a human being in general. However, despite the permanent topicality of the thesis that Kant puts forward in his writing “The Conflict of the Faculties”, where the idea of a university represents a kind of regulative idea, which is only as such a condition for the possibility of its realization as an institution, today we find ourselves in a time of dominance of the technoscientific paradigm in which the humanistic paradigm of man is reversed into “scientific slavery”, whereby philosophy in the contemporary framework of university education in the information society with the rule of the technosphere has become a neutralized form of “spiritual being”.
