Even Kant uses the concept of philosophy that stems from 'polis'; philosophy is therefore considered - as Pierre Hadot stresses - as exercise in wisdom, or practicing a certain way of life. It must be however stressed that'bios theoretikos' as 'praxis' is only one of the possible, among others, ways of life, yet undoubtedly the most perfect, as it is oriented on the very perfection as a regulative idea. Nevertheless, the concept of university has a different meaning: already the medieval university (especially in its prime, symbolized by Abelard) just because of its 'professional' utilitas becomes not only a certain way of functioning in a corporate community but also 'an universal form of life or of matter of social world as a whole'.

In author belief the University should bring some value added in to discussions taking place in Poland on the Jewish matter. They often roll around the evaluation’s fault and aim at pronouncing a symbolic sentence. Unfortunately they resemble an argument court, had at establishing in general, that when somebody is making a profit, somebody else is losing it. Meanwhile the University isn’t a court, especially isn’t a historical court. Justifying or accusing isn’t our role. Identifying the phenomenon is our role (at least a truth often very diagnosis is providing one of staying pages in the dispute with arguments). Understanding the phenomenon and assisting understanding are further lines through other. We aren’t allowed to repeat neither of the most widespread theses only because are frequent, neither we should not be driven by an aspiration to defense of the dignity or/and national pride. For moral reasons the college community should protest in case of universally recognized phenomena too reprehensible, but delivering to information is her basic task, of knowledge, and straightening out means of thinking towards the meaning — even if in the arts the result in the huge scope will always remain diverse.

The idea of new means of teaching is creating the conditions for fast and permanent knowledge absorbing as well as facilitating an access to educational materials with simultaneous improving courses attractiveness. Such perspectives are offered by e-learning courses, which enable the lecturer to adjust the pace of classes to individual students needs and to prepare such material that reaches the students in an easy way. Uncontested advantage of e-education is elimination of the limits concerning the time and place of studying, which allows work at home, at the university as well as enables to participate in courses during popular international students exchange programs. E-evaluation provides an opportunity for an effective, objective and fast evaluation of high number of students.

The academic education of Roman Ingarden can be divided into five stages, involving four different universities. It began in Poland, in Lviv, and was continued abroad in Göttingen, Vienna, and Freiburg im Breisgau. In this review article we describe Ingarden's studies in Germany in 1912-1914 and 1915-1917 at the Georg August University in Göttingen and the Albert Ludwik University in Freiburg Baden. We characterize this study period in terms of the academic courses Ingarden attended, professors and tutors he met, and other students he came into contact with at the time. We also describe Ingarden's relationships with the so-called Göttingen Circle.

For higher education to remain innovative and viable in the future, factors facilitating and inhibiting online education must be closely examined and addressed. Higher education's approaches to the phenomenon of online learning reveal much about its ability to be proactive in the face of significant societal change. Online learning is a dynamic process that includes the interaction of administrators, faculty, and students. Issues ranging from access to accommodation and trust to management of time, money, and people all combine to create an environment in which online programs succeed, fail, or never materialize. This essay explores some of the major barriers and bridges to online higher education.

The aim of the article is to draw attention to the current trends in the rural youth's access to university education and the main directions of the rural youth's allocation in the structure of institutions of higher learning. During many years rural youth relatively rarely studied at universities. This fact was attributable to social-economic, cultural and educational factors. The situation changed after the accomplishment of systemic transformation in the result of which young people from rural areas more and more often study at universities. As the presented data show, this does not mean that rural youth has – in comparison with urban youth, equal access to individual departments and directions of studies. It turns out that the general indicators of the rural youth's presence at universities are clearly rising. However, truly revealing are the indicators for individual departments and directions of studies which suggest that the main factors determining the presence of rural youth at universities are: auto-selection, evidenced by the tendency to choose definite – chiefly pedagogical, directions of studies, the popularity of a given direction of studies (attributable to social prestige or demand for definite competencies, etc.), the position of a given direction of studies within a definite department and, consequently, the pursued recruitment policy (the number of students that can be admitted, possible entrance examinations, etc.)

The theme of the paper is to reveal how well-prepared pre-service teachers think they are. It aims at reviewing the 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 cohorts studying for a BA in TEFL at a university by examining the impact and the effectiveness of four-year pre-service English education in a Chinese university context, and what needs to be improved and maintained from the perspective of trainees. Questionnaires were used, followed by semi-structured interviews. The questionnaires were completed by 300 participants, 200 of whom were then randomly chosen as interviewees. Despite finding some inconsistency in the four-year BA TEFL program, the result obtained from investigation of the cohort of student teachers is still satisfying.

The article suggests what should be done so that education - not only that defined by the prefix 'e' - would better fulfill the requirements of the modern society, which is described as knowledge-based. The theses stated in the article arise from the authoress' own experience and observations, gathered in diverse contexts and environments. They point that we still do not follow the changes that occur, or at least should occur, in education (also in e-education) due to the increasingly more common presence of information and communication technologies in society's life.

The aim of the study is to present the role of studies in the process of coming out of the stigma of 'the other', which is commonly attributed to disabled people. A statement that higher education increases the chances of disabled on the job market is a truism. The authoress tries to answer the question: what to do in order that disabled undertake studies more eagerly? On the basis of the data already available as well as her own empirical studies, she demonstrates the picture of the educational space of disabled in higher education.
