Abstract

Didactics is a function of an educational system based on examination-observation of the people who participate in the process of teaching and learning. In the process of conveying knowledge this observation of a student by a teacher/master, and vice versa, every now and then builds a practice of independent thinking. On one hand, the process enables the development of ideas, but on the other hand, also distorts them and exposes a humanities student to the pitfall of ideology. In my reflections about the disassembly of ideas and deteriorating education I shall make use of the concept of cognitive bias, the polemic about the contemporary university (Bill Readings), the concept of Jacques Lacan's discourses, Hannah Arendt's findings about willing and ideology, and Niklas Luhmann's assumptions of social systems theory understood as autopoietic systems of codified rules of operation.
