Ile punkt ów za etos?

The text is about a tendency currently existing in the academic circles, a tendency to place a scientist’s individual career above fundamental university values such as an ethos, unselfihness and vocation. The author shows cultural and civilisation determinants of this tendency as well as its manifestations: the primacy of pragmatism, effiiency and success or the commercialisation of scientifi research. As the remedy for this state of matters she points out a rebirth of the essence of academic tradition going back to the ancient academia, that is a rebirth of a selflss attitude not only towards establishing the truth but also towards students. Pointing to such thinkers as J. woroniecki, J. W. Dawid, J. Tischner, W. Chudy, Tomasz z Akwinu czy T. Gadacz, the author propounds a return to the idea of vocation and a master who remains in a service relationship with students. The ethos of a postmodern university lies in the renewal of personal academic relationships.

Tekst traktuje o tendencji współcześnie obecnej w świecie akademickim przedkładania indywidualnej kariery uczonego ponad fundamentalne wartości uniwersytetu, jak etos, bezinteresowność i powołanie. Autorka nakreśla kulturowo-cywilizacyjne uwarunkowania tej tendencji i jej przejawy: prymat pragmatyzmu, wydajności, sukcesu oraz komercjalizację badań. Jako remedium wskazuje odrodzenie istoty akademickiej tradycji, sięgającej starożytnej Akademii, to jest bezinteresownej postawy wobec odkrywania prawdy i wobec studenta. Przywołując takich myślicieli jak J. Woroniecki, J. W. Dawid, J. Tischner, W. Chudy, Tomasz z Akwinu czy T. Gadacz postuluje powrót do idei powołania i mistrza, który wobec ucznia pozostaje w stosunku służby. Etos uniwersytetu postnowożytności zasadza się na odnowieniu osobowych relacji akademickich.

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. The current state of university is vividly depicted, as Kazimierz Denek does this, as a “switchback bend” situation. The switchback bend is a condition of increased risk and danger as, with the lack of skills or attention, it is easy to fall out of the route from a “sharp bend”. However, it is also possible to become strengthened with new experiences and skills. Especially for educationalists and philosophers of education, university situated at a “bend” constitutes a challenge to thoughtful and in-depth reflection and reasonable acting – not to “risky charging” in the name of some fashionable “lofty words” and ideological visions. What is recognized in the classically understood European culture is the specific identity of university and its irreducibility to other – even closely related cultural forms. Universities are to embody in a specific way the ethos of intellectual work and to manifest some cognitive values at which practicing science and the system of education are aimed. Among other forms of shaping intellectual culture, university should be distinguished by its aiming at the holistic recognition of the reality or at least to unite the aspect-related recognition of the reality into a relative whole. The issues of university ethos were considered by Kazimierz Twardowski (1866–1938) in his – widely commented today – speech “On the eminence of University” (21st November 1932). What comes to the foreground is the selfless aiming at the scientific truth, which should be a basic feature of university. If this moral requirement is fulfilled, it is possible to conduct reliable studies and to shape students in such a way that they could – on their own – practice science oriented towards discovering the truth. In the European culture, establishing universities and the aim of studying have been associated with the classical idea gaudium veritatis: selfless joy provided by aiming at and approaching the truth. In the efforts to fulfil university, viewed as a specific world of manifested values and appreciated personal attitudes, the dreams about the “golden age” which has already gone cannot be the end. The people who constitute the academic community ought to present the appropriate knowledge of university, the theoretical and practical knowledge concerning their close reality, and they should have a strong belief in their own subjectivity and agency, their ability to establish and maintain university. This should take place in order not to yield to persuasion on civilization determinants (expressed in administrative directives) to which the academic community is to be unconditionally subjected.

The article is a part of the broad current of the philosophy of responsibility. It analyses and describes the basic elements of human activity in the anthropological and ethical perspective. A particular feature discussed in the article is selflessness, which is analysed in the perspective of the main ethical currents. In personalistic philosophy, responsibility and selflessness result from the will, whereas in deontological philosophy they result from the moral norm adopted by the subject. The concept that describes the nature and fundamental elements of an act is the theory of supererogatory act. According to it, a selfless act is a free, conscious act resulting from the realization of a norm immanent to the subject.

Artykuł wpisuje się w szeroki nurt filozofii odpowiedzialności. Analizuje i opisuje podstawowe elementy ludzkiej działalności w perspektywie antropologicznej oraz etycznej. Szczególną cechą omawianą w artykule jest bezinteresowność, która analizowana jest w perspektywie głównych nurtów etycznych. W filozofii personalistycznej odpowiedzialność i bezinteresowność są wynikiem woli, natomiast w filozofii deontologicznej wynikają one z przyjętej przez podmiot normy moralnej. Koncepcją opisującą charakter i fundamentalne elementy czynu jest teoria czynu supererogatywnego. Według niej czyn bezinteresowny to akt wolny, świadomy i wynikający z realizacji immanentnej dla podmiotu normy.

The author of the article characterizes the idea of voluntary service, its basic indicators, its essence and importance in the social life, emphasizing, at the same time, its Christian aspect. The general objective of the present paper is to draw particular attention to the issue of voluntary service as a chance for restoration of social bounds and rebuilding moral foundations in contemporary societies, as well as to present it as a place of volunteers' self-realization. At the same time, the author indicates the factors, which are connected with the time management of a volunteer's work, determine its correct proceeding, and finally success. The analysis leads to defining volunteering as an opportunity for everybody: above all for a man in need, for his family, but also for the volunteers themselves, who thanks to such help get a chance to learn more about themselves and to develop.

Autor artykułu charakteryzuje wolontariat, jego ideę, podstawowe wyznaczniki, istotę oraz znaczenie w życiu społecznym, podkreślając zarazem jego chrześcijański aspekt. Głównym celem niniejszego opracowania jest jednak zwrócenie uwagi na wolontariat jako działania dające możliwość restytucji więzi społecznych i odbudowywania fundamentów moralnych we współczesnych społeczeństwach, a także jako miejsce pozwalające na samorealizację wolontariusza. Autor wskazuje jednocześnie czynniki, które związane są z organizacją pracy wolontariusza oraz warunkują jej właściwy przebieg i pomyślność. Dokonane analizy prowadzą do określenia wolontariatu jako szansy dla wszystkich: nade wszystko dla człowieka potrzebującego, dla jego bliskich, ale także dla samych wolontariuszy, którzy dzięki niemu mogą poznawać i rozwijać siebie.
