This paper argues that current "postmodern" conditions demand a rethinking of higher education, especially in countries like Mexico. This would involve the rapprochement of science, technology, and the humanities, based on the belief that the chasm separating them, apart from being artificial, is no longer socially viable. Through a critical perspective that reviews the work of various authors and examines several theories, the paper proposes guidelines for a dialogue to reconcile these currently separated disciplinary domains, with the hope that it will be of aid in the timely formation of open, multidimensional, and critical university graduates.
