Man’s Education in the Perspective of Personalistic Philosophical Anthropology and Realistic Pedagogy of Fr. Jacek Woroniecki

Summary/Abstract: Fr. Jacek Woroniecki, an outstanding theologian, philosopher and pedagogue, was both a theoretician and practician. Upbringing and pedagogy were among the most important of the numerous issues he analysed. He emphasized the importance of education in human life, and he treated pedagogy as an integral part of ethics. Since Fr. Woroniecki’s concept of education and pedagogy refers to existential and cognitive realism, we may say that such approach is still valid. Therefore, the objective of this publication is showing the theory of educating a person in the perspective of personalism, and outlining the concept of realistic pedagogy of Fr. Jacek Woroniecki. Taking into account the complexity of this issue, only its selected aspects were discussed. First of all, the author presented the anthropological foundation for education, with special emphasis on universalism and pedagogical realism. Then, the author described how Fr. Jacek Woroniecki understood and defined education, and discussed his concept of the man’s development—from personality to the personalence. Also, the author presented selected actions that may be applied in the process of education to help the person aim at and achieve perfection.
