Summary/Abstract: Article takes important social and moral issues. Its content covers an issue of patriotism, which has been included from the philosophical, psychological and phenomenal site. In this context, is looking for teaching references to the current educational reality. And so, first, outline the horizon for patriotism to be able to see the pedagogical sense, interpreting the patriotism, as a special value in the culture of Polish society, and this also as a pedagogical value associated with the ideal of education in many ways. In this form it becomes a source of patriotic education purposes, which are desirable forms of behavior and multiple personality dispositions. Secondly, I would like to make the subject of consideration mentioned in the title of the key considerations for the term: personal identity, defining the phenomenon is not entirely clear, but which can be explained, at least to some extent, on the basis of modern anthropology. I think, in this respect it is worth dwelling on the very concept of a person, and that in order to make a distinction between the concepts veritable: the person and personality that this distinction will allow further investigations to use the term personal identity, not only reducing its meaning to the concept changing personality. In this way it will be possible, eventually reaching the phenomenon of patriotism, which appears in the dimensions of personal identity. This view of patriotism in the context of the individual characteristics of people living in the reality seems to be convenient for the formulation of directives recognition praxeological, talking about how to organize the patriotic upbringing of children and adolescents diagnosed on the basis of theoretical premises.
