Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present one of the most important tools in terms of personalistic philosophy of education — witness. This tool is most often associated with theology, for example, the witness of the first martyrs, or the witness of Christians who are persecuted today. However, this term has a much broader meaning, especially for the upbringing process in families as well as in schools or other social groups that are responsible for shaping the spirit of a young person. The article is divided into two main parts. The first one is focused on methodology. The most important concepts concerning the subject matter are defined. The second part refers to the explanation of the meaning of Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutic of testimony/witness, and then the personalist concept of witness will be presented along with the thought of the Cracow philosopher of dialogue, Józef Tischner.
