Nowoczesność pedagogiczna w Panu Podstolim Ignacego Krasickiego
Pedagogical Modernity in Ignacy Krasicki’s Novel Pan Podstoli

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the present article is to confront Ignacy Krasicki’s statements on education and teaching expressed in the novel Pan Podstoli with the idea of modernity. The concepts of educability and (self)education have been used to describe this idea. The article used a linguistic methodology based on the theory of semantic potentials and the theory of conceptual integration. As a result of this exploration, the presence of the both pedagogical concepts as neosemantisms was confirmed and consequently the initial thesis accepted as true. The implication of this is as following: (1) the dominant reading method of Krasicki’s writings needs to be reinterpreted in the history of educational theories, (2) the concepts of educability and (self)education enable ideas of modernity to be identified in relation to both pedagogical theory and practice, and (3) the application of linguistic theories to pedagogy not only opens up a new field of research, but also offers a new access to pedagogical texts.
