TY - JOUR TI - The Aporia of Humanitarian Education T2 - Educational Studies Moscow IS - Educational Studies Moscow KW - humanitarian education KW - cultural self-identification AB - Contemporary humanitarian education is in a controversial situation. Formerly intended to train the highest bureaucracy, it presently comes as the idiom of the elite's cultural selfidentification, and a means to impose the dominant ideology on the public. It is also deemed useful for making strategies of successful life. As it really is, education is, above all, a value in itself, and universities are sole institutions whose mission is to preserve and develop education as such a value. Universities, however, can survive only if they help to find answers to key questions of this life.
