The article provides a theoretical analysis of the features of the liberal model of university education in the process of its formation, starting from the liberal education of ancient Greece and ending with the British model of Oxbridge. The close relationship between the liberal model of education and the social elite lifestyle is shown. Definitions of the concepts “an intellectual” and “intellectual culture” are given. It is shown what characteristics of the liberal model make it an institution of culture and science and a factor of cultural and scientific leadership. It is substantiated that the bridging of the gap between classical university education and vocational education in the middle of the 20th century led to an eclectic mix of university and professional education paradigms.
Keywords: intellectual, intellectual culture, theoretical science, liberal education of ancient Greece, model of liberal education, cultural and scientific leadership, university and professional education paradigms.
