The objective of this paper is to discuss the connections and the contradictions between human background and education in the public university to understand its development in the capitalist society. The human background is showed from the possibility that the humankind like a social being can be configured through the work like a basic category, while the role of the education imposes itself mainly against the capitalist society, where as a result of this contradiction it makes a rupture in this social being, so this education transfigures in preparation for the work. Hence, it comes about the necessity of the creation of several instances to accomplish this purpose; one of them is the public university as a contradictory space, by one side its objective is the background to satisfy a work market and by the other side, it allows the acquisition of universal knowledge that provides the social collective to take and reveal this basic comprehension for its development as a society. One of the mainly conclusions is the need as society of understanding these contradictions and its social roles in the creation and collectivization of the knowledge.
