O potrzebie wychowania humanistycznego. Wybrane kategorie i ich znaczenie dla rozwoju indywidualnego i społecznego

The aim of the article is to indicate and briefly present the categories emerging from the research analyses that are important from the point of view of rearing and education, focused on the design and implementation of activities undertaken by people, both for their individual development and involvement in society. In relation to the comparative analysis, undertaken within this perspective, of various concepts that have an impact on the education and rearing process, the discussed issues oscillate mainly around the following distinguished categories: awareness, reflection, action and understanding. The reflection in its entirety examines the broadly understood concern for humanity in the modern globalized world, taking into account six main areas of human praxis: economics, politics, religion, ethics, art, and pedagogy. As it turned out, education is and should be humanistic education, derived from paideia and humanitas with elements of the humanities and humanism.
