Hace décadas que nuestras universidades experimentan una profunda crisis. Esta se debate entre su función crítica –como entidad que promueve el diálogo cultural, científico y riguroso capaz de aportar nuevas posibilidades– y su función adaptativa, que responde con eficacia a las exigencias del mercado, impartiendo una formación estandarizada y funcional, a veces cuestionada. ¿Cómo hacer frente a este dilema? ¿Cómo abordar los desafíos que el siglo XXI nos presenta? Después de toda una vida dedicada a la docencia universitaria, Julieta Piastro y Victor Cabré intentan responder a estas cuestiones e invitan a reflexionar sobre los aspectos esenciales que, según ellos, deberían conformar los pilares de la universidad en nuestros días. Abogan por una institución que conserve su función social transformadora y continúe su labor como referente en la producción de conocimiento, formando a los profesionales del futuro, sin dejarse tentar por las modas ni las exigencias del mercado. Una universidad que responda verdaderamente a las necesidades de su tiempo.
