This study bridges the ideas of Boaventura de Sousa Santos with regards to the role of the public university in the construction of a project for a society, one that is counter-hegemonic to capitalist globalization and those of István Mészáros dealing with the radicality of education beyond capital. To bring together those two views of social change, the vision of Edgar Morin on the complex nature of paradigms and the social and cultural conditions for their transformation was used. The article inquires about the possibilities of production of a new knowledge rooted in the social struggles for the overthrow of the hegemony of the logic of capital and its determination over material, cultural and educational production in our society. The public university is considered a privileged space for democratizing the production of scientific knowledge and contributing to the construction of a revolutionary project of society.

Keywords : Public University; Paradigmatic Change; Scientific Knowledge.
