The goal of a university – the aim of scientific knowledge – is not self-contained, because it remains at the service of man: man as a person and the entire humanity, men conceived as mankind, with a feature proper only to them: the presence of the spirit of knowledge, conscience, and will as well as the ability to act knowingly and freely. Science cannot claim or opine of itself that it is neutral with respect to man: for it is a gift bestowed from Above and also an achievement of a tireless spirit which seeks and finds, explains and orders. Science leads to the liberation and exaltation of man.
