Summary/Abstract: Moral education, as an inner form of every other field of education, is essential in the lifelong process of education. The essence of the concept of moral education depends upon the philosophical tradition in which it has been shaped - in realism or in idealism. Moral education, being under the influence of idealism, loses contact with the real student and becomes inadequate or even utopian (e.g. Rousseau's moral education, socialist education, and postmodernist education). In turn, moral education shaped on the ground of realism aims to truly recognize the student and to adequately shape his/her morality. The article presents the connection between the realistic concept of moral education and specific normative ethics built on the basis of realistic ethical experience as presented by the Lublin School.
