The paper explores the phenomenon of the local-worldly university. Why should we cultivate “the Difference” in everyday practices of the university? The author refers to the Derridean “différance,” to the idea of wonder (το θαυμα) and the Herderean concept of Heimat. By putting these terms in the university's specific context, the author asks questions about an autonomous space for thinking and experiencing. The university cannot be homeless, unanchored or uncommitted. The more intensively the universalising procedures of the control of universities are implemented, the more we are convinced that the world does not need any global institutions of higher education and research. This is because a human being is more localised than we would be willing to admit. What is important is difference, the untranslatability of knowledge and languages, the contextual grounding of thinking and action, as well as the experience of the fragility of what is “locally human,” which makes us observe closely a local human being, attached to a place, wandering about with the notion of home, and thus dispelling his or her doubts here and now, even when they tend to recur eternally.

为什么要在大学的日常实践中培养“差异”？

本文探讨了地方-世界大学的现象。为什么要在大学的日常实践中培养“差异”？作者提到了德里德的“différance”、奇迹的概念 ( το θαυμα ) 和赫尔德的Heimat概念. 通过将这些术语置于大学的特定背景中，作者提出了有关思考和体验的自主空间的问题。大学不能无家可归、无家可归或不投入。控制大学的普遍化程序实施得越密集，我们就越相信世界不需要任何全球性的高等教育和研究机构。这是因为人类比我们愿意承认的更本地化。重要的是差异，知识和语言的不可翻译性，思维和行动的语境基础，以及对“当地人”脆弱性的体验，这使我们密切观察当地人，依附于地方，带着家的概念四处游荡，
