Summary/Abstract: The text is devoted to the analysis of civility, which practically disappeared from thecontemporary pedagogical discourse (though not the humanistic one). The (re)constructionof the concept is aimed at restoring the importance of civility as a form of civilised life andat arguents for learning, i.e. acquiring this quality.For this purpose, a review of historical concepts concerning civility is made, then thelink of civility with customs and morals as a part of the civilising process is shown. Atthe end, its contemporary approach is proposed in a dual role and space: interpersonal andsocial, in the private and public spheres, in their mutual dependencies. It is assumed thatthe (re)construction of the concept, including the presentation of civility as a useful good andat the same time a manifestation of the human morality or the human condition in general,makes it possible to place it among the internal goods of education.
