Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the suppression of the subjective, existential, and ethical dimensions of reading literary texts in secondary school that has occurred in recent decades. This shift is seen as a consequence of the dominance of text-centered approaches to literary studies and their didactic transposition into the educational field. At the same time, the article identifies the reasons for the reductionist tendency in contemporary literary education not only among the “demons of theory“ but also among those of pedagogy.
