Koncepcje wychowania estetycznego w Królestwie Polskim w dobie przemian modernizacyjnych na przełomie XIX i XX wieku
Concepts of Aesthetic Education in the Kingdom of Poland in the Era of Modernization Changes at the Turn of the 19th and 20th Centuries

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the most important concepts of aesthetic education in the Kingdom of Poland in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The analysis covers both the already known texts of educators and art theorists, as well as those that have not been the subject of historical and pedagogical research so far. As aesthetic education is one of the main directions of modern education, the authors presented the relationship between the socio-cultural changes typical of modernity in the fin de siècle period and the circumstances of formulating the educational ideal of homo aestheticus. The Western European roots of this ideal and its reception in Polish literature are shown. Concepts and practical ways of implementing aesthetic education in dissertations and in the press are an important element of Polish pedagogical reflection on education through art. Their authors promoted the universal value of the idea of aesthetic education and emphasized its importance for the holistically understood education of the young generation.
