The nature of the university is autonomous research and teaching within the framework of Bildung (i.e. an orienting, non-vocational education). without Bildung, our open society, which expects and lauds innovation and mobility, will become paralysed by its own expectations, since it will be choked by a reign of technological specialists unable to offer society any universal orientation. In this worst-case scenario, the market becomes the measure of all things, and education is only valued insofar as it plays to market demands. But our knowledge society (as opposed to an information society) needs strong education, especially strong university able to offer orientational Bildung. In turn, universities need autonomy to plan their own organisation, as well as to systematise science. Reflecting globalised economic and research practices, the university too must step beyond disciplinary boundaries, and see the future of research of research and learning in problem-driven transdiciplinarity. Failing this, the university will be replaced by the paradigm of the school, and the particularism that entails. But in achieving this transdiciplinarity, university will be able to foster the notion of science as a form of life, which in turn reveals itself to be the moral form of science and academic education. The credibililty of the university depends on the achievement.
