Poszukiwanie podstaw moralności a wychowanie. Rozważania w nawiązaniu do poglądów Karola Wojtyły i Maxa Schelera

In the article an attempt is made to search for the foundations of morality in the context of education, with reference to two philosophical currents: philosophy of being (metaphysics) and philosophy of the subject. Analysis of Karol Wojtyła's texts and of his debate with Max Scheler about the teleological character of morality gives rise to a reflection on the issue of achieving moral perfection by man; perfection that is important from the point of view of pedagogy. In personalistically-oriented education the problem is not only how to define who the man is, but also who he should be, in what way he becomes morally good and what educational activities may help him in this respect. Searching for an answer to this question that is significant for education becomes also searching for the foundations of morality.
