Summary/Abstract: Every human action should include an aspect of purpose. For this reason, the very difficult task such as upbringing a human being cannot be deprived of this dimension. During the period from 2006 to 2013, issues related to educational purposes were discussed in the course of university classes. These lessons covered selected aspects of upbringing children and youth and were conducted with pedagogy students. The results of discussions concerning aims which were either chosen or rejected by students became an opportunity for reflection on the core of the dispute over educational aims. Its main cause was primarily seen through the spectrum of crisis in the normative culture of the modern world.
