Summary/Abstract: Modern man is entangled in a thicket of information coming from everywhere. The transformations of surrounding reality force mental compatibility with common civilization trends. The only chance for constructive break-up of the so-called mainstream is to preserve the intellectual autonomy. In the face of contemporary socio-cultural changes there is a need to have a special care for the formation of a mature personality, creating the conditions which stimulate the holistic development and building a society based on knowledge. The place where this idea should be implemented is – next to the family – school. It’s task is to see and meet the educational needs of today’s youth. This article presents the transgressive concept of a man and theory of positive disintegration, in which the author sees valuable inspiration for pedagogy and didactics. The text shows advantages of both of these concepts and the possibility of their use in order to increase the effectiveness of education. As an example of implementation of transgressive teaching and positive disintegration in education, the author gives a diagnosis and therapy of underachievement syndrome.
