Abstract

The article offers a constructive reflection, from the perspective of Alasdair MacIntyre, about the crisis of the University. For this, it describes the need to train in the University in the complexity, the cultural encounter, in an interiority and singularity of the subject, in an assumption of the risks in this time of change, in the integration of failure with the achievements, in the importance of integration and global visions, etc. In addition, the more specifically university solutions proposed by MacIntyre are described, such as the recovery of the passion for research within history, the importance of authentic teachers and great books, the importance of the internal assets of each profession, the vocation and the unity of life.
