Philosophy of education in Lviv-Warsaw School. Twardowski’s and his students’ philosophical conceptions of education

Abstract

A common feature of Lviv-Warsaw School (hereinafter – LWS) was not only the requirement of clear and precise thinking, but also a set of beliefs on the topic of philosophy and its role in the human and society life. This means that LWS had a certain philosophical conception of education. This is justified by the study of pedagogical aspects of Kazimierz Twardowski’s philosophy and philosophical aspects of pedagogy of his students Bogdan Nawroczyński and Kazimierz Sośnicki, as well as comprehending the idea of university and philosophical education in LWS. However, there is no integrated study of the LWS philosophy of education. This paper aims at reconstruction of LWS’s philosophy of education. Achieving this goal involves clarifying Twardowski’s role in developing philosophy of education at LWS and defining philosophical conceptions of education in his students’ works.
