Summary/Abstract: The article deals with issues connected with the shaping of contemporary pedagogic in the area of the EU. These policies is discussed in the context of rapid economic changes which take place to a large degree under the influence of the globalization process. Modern times are also characterized by a large dissonance emerging between the commonly declared slogans such as “human dignity” and “human rights” while the practices in force in many parts of the world greatly differ from these declarations. The logical consequence of the general state of uncertainty in the “rat race” of the developed world is the increased demand for psychotherapeutic services. To a large extent, these services en-able the modern day inhabitant of the developed world to compensate for the loss of family, friends, release the tension from the “fight for places” in society or the denunciation of religious beliefs. There is no shortage of signs of globalization in this case, appearing in the concept of other cultural centres – mainly in Asia. Pedagogy should be based on humanistic values. Hinduism and Buddhism could give our contemporary pedagogic important inspiration.
