Description
Summary:The place occupied by theology within a university depends on how university itself is conceived. University is a community of people striving to acquire knowledge as a good in itself and spread it in different historical periods. The freedom to accomplish this mission can be rendered compatible with the social circumstances in which it is exercised. Moreover, facing with today's diversified and specified knowledge, it is necessary to look for ways of conserving knowledge's unity. The zealous quest for this unity was present in the university's origin. In that undertaking, theology played a significant yet, at the same time, debated role.
El lugar que tiene la teología dentro de la universidad depende del modo como se conciba la propia universidad. La universidad es una comunidad de personas empeñadas en el incremento del saber, buscado por sí mismo, y en su difusión en las diversas situaciones históricas. La libertad para llevar a cabo esta misión debe hacerse compatible con los condicionamientos que impone el contexto social en que se desarrolla. Además, la empresa del saber, que en nuestros días se ha diversificado y especializado, obliga a repensar la manera de no perder la unidad del saber. La búsqueda vigorosa de esa unidad está precisamente en el origen a la universidad. En esta empresa la teología ocupa un lugar destacado, pero al mismo tiempo discutido.
