Franciszek Salezy jako wychowawca i pedagog

St. Francis de Sales is not considered as an educationalist. His surname does not appear in the history of education and he is not quoted by books related to this subject. What is more, even his concept of education is generally neglected by catholic authors. We have to admit, that Francis de Sales didn’t write any pedagogic treatise, anyway during his pastoral activities in many places he was making suggestions and real references to education. The author of this article tries to focus on one thing: his importance as an educator and an educationalist. An educator, because he practiced education spontaneously on regular bases and an educationalist as well, in terms of taking education as a subject of reflection.
