| Summary: | In the article, the authors reviewed the main functions of the university planetariums and
observatories in higher education. When considering higher education in Plato’s tradition, the authors
found that in addition to the three generally recognized functions, there is a fourth, perhaps the main
function of the university planetariums and observatories. They form the planetary and cosmic thinking,
i.e. person’s spatial awareness on a scale of Earth and the cosmos. In fact, the university planetariums
and observatories lay the foundation for the arête of a modern man: the inextricable link between the
inner essence of a person and the space. They expand a person’s world view from a regional and even
planetary scale to the perception of the self as a product of cosmic processes, thus laying the foundation
for the ontological orientation of individual self-realization to future studies. |
