Choczyński, Marcin2026-03-062026-03-062013Seminare, 2013, Tom 33, s. 165-178.1232-8766https://theo-logos.pl/handle/123456789/42346This article presents the essence of the Austrian writer, philosopher and teacher Rudolf Steiner’s educational philosophy, known as Waldorf pedagogy, implemented in the educational institutions which he founded. The main ideas of this pedagogy are linked with his anthroposophical view of social reality, explained in many of Steiner’s works. The chief principle of his pedagogy is raising a free person, active in their search for the purpose of life, and deriving genuine pleasure from their existence. The Austrian educator, unlike other authors advocating creative freedom at school, attached great importance to the social context of education. Hence, his writings are an interesting subject for the sociology of education, whose basic tenet is the transmission of normative values shared by society.polCC-BY-ND - Uznanie autorstwa - Bez utworów zależnychantropozofiaRudolf Steinerwychowaniepedagogika waldorfskatrójdzielny podział życia społecznegoautorytet pedagogicznypedagogikawychowanie społeczneautorytetfilozofiafilozofia wychowaniaanthroposophypedagogyWaldorf pedagogytripartite division of social lifepedagogical authoritysocial upbringingauthorityupbringingphilosophyphilosophy of upbringingArticle
