CONTECHA CARRILLO, Luis Felipe  and  JARAMILLO ECHEVERRI, Luis Guillermo. THE UNIVERSITY WELFARE SUBORDINATED TO AN INSTRUMENTAL MODERNITY. rev.udcaactual.divulg.cient. [online]. 2011, vol.14, n.1, pp.101-109. ISSN 0123-4226.

This paper is a part of the doctoral thesis "The Senses of the University Welfare: beyond a welfare service". The study allowed to understand, first, how the University is plunged into patterns of instrumental reasoning, that subordinate the University Welfare to a simple welfare service; secondly and derived from the previous aspect, it was possible to understand how the University Welfare is ruled by a utilitarian look, that justifies itself as a material good; and thirdly, opposite to this objectifying look of Welfare, it emerges the critical vision, especially, on the part of the students, of assuming the University Welfare as human accomplishment, which goes in opposite direction to Kantian principles of dependency and material assistance.

Keywords : University life; senses of the university welfare; assistance service.
