The paper considers some problems of the theory and practice of University education at the present stage. The ideas of developing the philosophy of higher education were actualized. A radical contradiction was identified: in the 20th century universities offered en masse training of the reproductive and performing type specialists, while in the modern society the  needs for mass training of the creative and productive type specialists is increasing. But new innovative didactics are hardly growing inside of the university community. The authors made an attempt to establish the conclusion that university communities have no systematic concept of philosophical and pedagogical justification for reforms yet. A few options to achieve these objectives are proposed.
