SERRANO DEL POZO, Ignacio. A. MacIntyre's Postmodern Critique to the Liberal University: Three Rival Fictions of the University. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2016, vol.65, n.160, pp.205-223. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v65n160.44435.

According to Alasdair MacIntyre, the liberal University is based on fictions that hide its purposes and provide a misleading legitimacy. This critique has not always been understood in its depth and is often seen as a reactionary attitude, nostalgic for the medieval University. This article analyzes these fictions: over-specialization as a synonym for deep research, neutrality and objectivity as enablers of rationalism, and excellence in management as a form of ensuring its objectives. It shows how this indictment manifests a revolutionary position, influenced by Marx and Nietzsche, which seeks to unmask the internal contradictions of the liberal University.

Palabras clave : A. MacIntyre; T. Aquinas; University.
