Integral Education as the Basis for the Development of the Person

Summary/Abstract: Each educational process aims at its set goal which is the achievement of maturity. This process takes place by acquiring skills - virtues that express the maturity and responsibility of individuals, both for themselves and for the larger communities in which they live. In achieving these objectives, it is helpful to refer to transcendent pedagogy, whose representatives refer to religion disclosing to man a new sense of human existence. It assumes support in achieving religious and human maturity through natural and religious means. Within this line of reasoning it is assumed that religious knowledge permeates the mind, will and feelings of a man, and has a decisive influence on the attitudes held by a person. Another advantage of transcendent pedagogy is the support it provides in achieving inner spiritual maturity, which helps a person to become more selfless and open to the needs of others. This kind of perception of human maturity is conducive to fostering a sensitivity to the need, or even the necessity, to define the most important, ultimate object of human endeavors, attempts and efforts, which P. Tillich called ultimate concern. In this way it easier to realize the relationship between what I can accomplish by myself, and what is offered by God.
