RODRIGUEZ SALON, Román. Freedom and irony in the relationship between society and university. SAPIENS [online]. 2010, vol.11, n.1, pp.213-230. ISSN 1317-5815.

This discourse looks for the apprehension and understanding of the relationship between society and the University through the categories (and problems) of the Freedom of investigation and pedagogy and irony that seems to be inherent, from the perspective of Richard Rorty, to the production of scientific knowledge in modernity. From here, one dual compass of analysis is open the menaces to internal freedoms of the university and the university responses to maintain adequate levels of freedom without factual justification correspondence. Thus, the irony breaks into its two concepts: the insulating enclosure which reproduces the Proustian drama of the contingent world and the experiential view of irony nucleated around the pragmatic learning of the past and of the original vision that originates the future.

Palabras clave : University; Society; Independence; Freedom; Irony.
