UNIVERSITY AND EROS: Education and the sky that protect usThe contemporary University is part of the disappearance of the philosophical and existential role of culture. The humanist University – founded on the ideal of intellectual formation through scientific, philosophical, historical, geographical, and literary knowledge – has given in to the entertainment industry, the most expressive symptom of which was the Sports industry’s replacement of the School dimension. As a result, Philosophy and Science have lost their autonomy in research and the plurality of investigations in the University under the imperatives of productivity, control by numbers, and the fetish of permanent innovation. Today, it is a task of thought to return to universalist and generous values, constituted by the differences between temporalities, spaces, and experiences.
