Etos wykładowcy akademickiego (etos a praktyka)

Abstract

The author analyses the features of the ethos of modern scholars (i.e. of researchers and teachers), confronting his own observations with the views of such authors as Kazimierz Twardowski, Allan Bloom, Bill Readings, Jacek Bieliński, Robert Merton, Alasdair MacIntyre and others. The author concludes that the situation of the present academic community, subject to rivalry and corporate authority – direct, personal, dialogic and creative relationship between the scholars, trainees and students becomes a matter of fundamental significance and incalculable value. Reflections on the mentor-mentee relationship are particularly required in the modern academic discourse.
