Helena Radlińska: a return to the roots and traditions in the post-modern world

Journal Title: Pedagogika Społeczna - Year 2018, Vol 70, Issue 4

Abstract

The article focuses on the problem of sustainability of Radlinska’s (1879–1954) scientific heritage. This involves critical social pedagogy. This concept emerged at the beginning of the 20th century and grew out of the involvement of educational work in the struggle for the independence of the country. Radlińska, combining education and upbringing with politics, and political tasks with moral premises, built a model of school and education that would participate in public life. Such pedagogy teaches how to look critically at oneself and the world. It helps in the fight against violence, ignorance, intolerance and nationalism. Together with this it teaches how to engage in dialogue with others and develops skills of cooperation and interaction. These are indispensable values and norms as well as universal educational tasks – perhaps necessary in the age of fluid modernity, in the reality of today’s „global, cracked world”.
