Since 1999, the signing of the Bologna Declaration, if not before, the university is still the subject of intense debate. Saving the specific, first we find a way to think about college that does not renounce his past and focuses its attention on a story or so glorious. On the other hand, we are dealing with a speech defending a university adapted to the times; a new university that perhaps has little to do with his past. Both views have their advantages, but also have certain weaknesses and, more importantly, none of them seemed to offer a full explanation of the university demanded postmodernity. We argue that, far from what it may seem, is not opposed positions, or incompatible. This paper is dedicated to providing a possible starting point.
