Summary/Abstract: The article begins with criticizing the idealistic conceptions of pedagogy, namely collectivistic pedagogy and individualistic pedagogy. Then, it introduces personalistic paideia, which represents the tradition of philosophical and anthropological realism and refines its criteria; it also voices criticism of alleged personalisms. What is especially indicated here is an urgent need of reconstructing the European tradition of pedagogy whose roots go back as far as to Greek paideia. This tradition assures education based on the truth about man, while its opposition means anti-education.
