The ongoing changes in universities are considered in the logic of change of socio-economic development phases – as an aspect of the post-industrial transition. The content of the society and university development phases is comprehended through a set of categories: “the activity-oriented – the social – the anthropological”. The article identifies four “generations” of universities relevant to the pre-industrial, industrial, post-industrial and cognitive phases. In order to analyze transitions from one generation to another the authors use a model “overcoming – positing – deployment” (forms of activity, institutional forms, forms of consciousness and thinking, pictures of the world). The article also discusses features of the future University – University 4.0.
