THE ACTING PERSON AS A DIFFERENTIATING CATEGORY AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR PEDAGOGY
Journal Title: Forum Pedagogiczne - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to demonstrate, on the basis of Karol Wojtyła’s work The Acting Person, the validity of returning to the personalistic understanding of the acting person as the necessary philosophical tradition to restore the value of upbringing in the contemporary cultural context. The starting point is the assumption that education has been assigned in a neoliberal, technological, and eugenic context of public debate, what has reduced the meaning of educational acting. These three positions are linked by common understanding of education focused rather on the result than on the process itself and aimed to regulate this process and even take control over it. Only if human acting – contrary to the assumptions of transhumanism – is recognized as a differentiating category, which means that it really differs from both animal activity and machine activity, it is possible to defend the rationality of human activity in the area of upbringing.
