Niektóre aspekty wychowania do wolności (impresja pedagogiczna w kontekście współczesnej sytuacji polskiej)

Abstract

It is a complex process to bring up man to exercise his freedom. The beginnings of this process take place in family upbringing. The author points to some phenomena which are directly linked with the upbringing to freedom, e.g., the problem of truth in upbringing, the problem of independence and the problem of the authority of parents and educators. Here is the key to a full upbringing of free man. According to the author, the family way of upbringing to freedom runs through a correct emotional aupbringing, making children concentrate on other people, backing up the child’s activity, stimulating and inspiring creativity, while respecting the childs’ uniqueness. The latter means to let the child do what he thinks fit in defining himself, his future, to give the child an authentic religious upbringing. This programme of the upbringing to freedom is extremely up to date in Poland, due to our social situation, the process of building pluralism and democracy, and due to the fact that we have only recently gained freedom.
