PATINO MORALES, William Arley. Anthropological Perspective as a Condition of Possibility for the Construction of the University Ethos. Rev. Guillermo Ockham [online]. 2023, vol.21, n.2, pp.539-549.  Epub July 26, 2023. ISSN 1794-192X.  https://doi.org/10.21500/22563202.6449.

This article proposes an anthropological perspective for the construction of the university ethos based on a hermeneutic approach, which takes into account, first, the philosophical reflections of Theodor W. Adorno, in his text "Education after Auschwitz" (1998) and, second, the criticisms made by Michel Foucault to the dominant power systems, as well as to the Enlightenment project, in writings such as "What is the Enlightenment?" (1994), The Hermeneutics of the Subject (2011) and Truth and Legal Forms (1983). Based on the above, on the one hand, the construction of certain university ethos -configured, at times, by relations of power, domination and subjection- permeated by hegemonic structures immersed in socioeconomic models is accounted for. On the other hand, it suggests new ways of shaping university ethos from a contextual anthropological perspective.

Keywords : man; culture; society; subject; training; education; ethos; university.
