Individuation and Movements of Existence in Jan Patočka: Horizon of Education

Journal Title: Theology and Philosophy of Education - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 2

Abstract

Jan Patočka addresses the concept of individuation in relation to the three movements of existence. This article argues that education functions as a process of individuation, requiring educators to engage with the third movement of existence in order to summon learners’ potential in their search for truth, autonomy and responsibility. The article is structured into three sections: Education in Patočka, Individuation and the movements of existence, and Pedagogical implications of the third movement, characterized by the open soul, as the horizon of education.
