Abstract

From the perspective of Higher education, with regard to ethical crisis, the educators have not been able to develop an ethical foundation or a public philosophy that takes seriously the relationship that should exists between the university and a democratic public life. However, the crisis of ethics is an opportunity to seek to clarify, enrich and deepen a response. In this essay, university living, role of professor and ethical life in the university are analyzed. Ethics has to stop reflectingthe atomization of individual behavior to become the way of thinking, feeling, saying and making the university organization as a whole. Ethical leadership of the university is important in the society and one of the most important roles of the authorities is to be ethical teachers, therefore even to train specialists of the highest academic level, humanistic has to be valued in the broadest sense of the term. A global university paradigm in which learning-teaching are taken out of the narrow frameworks of relations conceived in the educational interaction is required to enter in the transformation processes of everyday life’s semiotization required.
