Higher education: problems and values.

Abstract

The author considers higher education as a culturally creative and vital creative potential of the philosophy of continuing education of the individual. Focuses attention on the further internal and external logic of the transformation of educational institutions that require coordination, which is not always automatic. The dominance of the internal logic of educational institutions leads to the capsulization in the social space, causes constitutions of peculiar pedagogical provinces with claims to an alternative transtemporal social reality. The dominance of external logic in these transformations conceals the danger of subordinating the pedagogical rationality to economic and political rationality. Cautions against the commercialization of education, especially higher education, which fraught with danger of its instrumentality, which contradicts its civilization purpose.
