AB - Comparing the present age with the past one, the future of the youth appears to be very uncertain; and the forthcoming society will have, and should have, quite a different social structure than the present one has. The features that have sustained our society in the last decades are characterized as the modern and the industrial communities; but the society in which we currently reside is no longer considered to be modern or industrial. We are not sure what form of society will be primary in the future. What matters is that the mission that pins down the uncertainty of the future cannot be, and should not be, given to those people who have already some ready-made hegemony in the present community. They cannot design an ideal society in the future because they are bound to their own way of thinking. In this regard the future society should be created to live a life in which all the people are, on the basis of the same equal rights, able to maintain human dignity. And that society should be founded on the principle of ‘publicity’. So here we reflect on the nature of publicity as clearly as possible, and attempt to see what it is like to be a society based upon such publicity. The publicity at issue can be most perspicuously identified by way of considering the character of a university society. Meanwhile, Kant, exploring in his writings the relationship between the university and the society to which it belongs, already argues that the university has to defeat the old structure of vested powers and should be operated in light of publicity and justness. He emphasizes that in order for the university to be managed in that way, the philosophy faculty has to play its own roles and fulfill its duties. Kant acknowledges that philosophy is the fundamentally important discipline not only playing the peculiar role in the university but also warranting the genuine development of society wherein the university exists. I take the aforementioned ideas of Kant to be pivotal in laying out ‘society for the youth and the publicity of a university’ because Kant’s view about the relationship between the university and the society can be, as a seminal argumentation concerning the issue, seriously adopted, especially in viewing the character of the society that we idealize.
