The author of this book presents a comprehensive thesis that has prevailed in the academic culture since the inception of the first universities until the present day. He argues that two distinct types of this culture have coexisted, namely, a corporate and a templar one. Throughout his remarks, the author aims to emphasize this dichotomy by exploring various aspects. Firstly, he delves into the functioning of academia across different historical periods, shedding light on the evolving beliefs, practices, and evaluation criteria of scholars. Secondly, he examines the legal frameworks governing science and academia, highlighting their significance in shaping the academic landscape.

A significant portion of this study is dedicated to analyzing the Polish academic culture, encompassing the efforts to align the existing standards of research and student education with those prevalent in leading Western countries. The author aims to provide a thorough examination of the cultural dynamics, challenges, and opportunities within the Polish academic sphere.

By examining these various facets, the book offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of academic culture and its evolution over time. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, educators, and policymakers interested in understanding the dynamics of higher education and its role in shaping the intellectual and social landscape of societies.
