Abstract

In the article, the evolution of axiological bases of society and university on the example of the German university is considered. The priority of pure reason, solitude and freedom in modernity is converted through overcoming the political and social indifference in the form of solidarity in the middle of XX century and arrives into pluralism of values, individualization and communication in postmodernity. The risk of losing responsibility among academics in the modern supranational globalized society is discussed; and as a way to overcome this risk there is suggested understanding of ecological unity as the foundation of internal responsibility.
