Summary/Abstract: This study examines whether the Jacek (Adam) Woroniecki's works (1903-1918) allow us to regard him as an influential pedagogue and educationist. The study consists of four parts. Part 1, which precedes the main analysis, deals with Woroniecki's pedagogical abilities and qualifications. Parts 2, 3 and 4 survey successively the pedagogical core of Woroniecki's works, particularly some of his pedagogical ideas and his philosophical (i.e. Thomistic) approach to pedagogical issues. The findings are: a) at the pedagogical core of Woroniecki's works is an ethical approach to social problems, b) Woroniecki's ideas call for the harmonization of pedagogical and educational elements in human development and for the inclusion of religion, national culture and social patterning in this process, c) Woroniecki's pedagogics are founded on Thomism, as evidenced by his analytical approach and metaphysical, epistemological and anthropological premises.
