Summary/Abstract: The article presents an overview of some Polish discussions conducted during the period of national captivity about the role of science and education in the life of the nation. During this difficult period of the absence of the independent Polish state, many courageous statements and beliefs were formulated, according to which science and education can be a golden means for Polish society, which will effectively oppose Germanization and Russification and could help solve economic problems. Strong belief in the power of education was not an isolated phenomenon in the years 1795-1918. This is confirmed by a detailed analysis of pedagogical literature published in the discussed period.
