The article presents axiological deliberations on the scope of the changes in science and education management which are oriented towards ensuring the condition of the Nation to exercise sovereignty. The issue is examined mainly in the context of Poland, but the discussion is universal and rooted in fundamental values. The objective of the article is to answer the following question: Can science and education be limited to only one sphere of civilisation? And more precisely: Can it be limited to techné? The author hypothesises that science and education are present in – and should integrate – both spheres of civilisation: sophia (Greek for ‘wisdom’) as well as techné (Greek for ‘craft’). The article uses deduction, descriptive and critical analysis and the coherence method. The first part of the paper discusses the theoretical foundations of science and education management and the evolution of science and education. The subsequent part presents selected examples from Polish science and education management practice in the aspect of the current structural order. The author argues that the deregulation in science and education management (the limitation of science and education to one sphere only) is caused by the civilisation code (i.e. the law of contradiction) being broken. In the language of logic, it is: YES = NO = MAYBE. This is the basis for generations of institutional solutions that exclude integrated management. He claims that restoring the attribute of integrity in science and education management requires: the teaching about the basics of the structural order in the sophia sphere as the necessary condition, and the decision-making will to limit the permission to deregulation – as the sufficient condition.Downloads
