Ígérve tanítani. Németh László példája
Educate Offering. The Example of László Németh

Summary/Abstract: Derrida’s expression used in this title seems to be incompatible, at first sight, with László Németh’s concept on education. László Németh’s pedagogical concept brought out in his essays might be in accordance in several points with Jacques Derrida’s thoughts on „the unconditional university”; his pedagogical guideline tested during his teaching time in Hódmezővásárhely between the years 1945 and 1948, as if it were Derrida’s idea of institution „unconditionally free, sovereign in its speech, in its writing, in its thinking” applied in the experimental field of education. Furthermore, both of them seems to believe that the only in virtual traces perceptible „as if ”, respectively, László Németh’s term, “the Saint Might” would be the ferment without which we won’t be able to assure the survival of the human culture. In László Németh’s opinion, too, the “trace” of the good teacher’s work is not in the transmitted information but it reveals occurring an unmeasurable, incomprehensible energy, “homesickness”, which will accompany for a lifetime.
