Education from the Perspective of the Philosophy of Dialogue: Ethical Aspects During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Summary/Abstract: The personal relationship between teacher and student is an impor- tant element of the educational process. It takes place in a specific space, which is usually a school. Interpersonal relationships and the space in which the interaction occurs are very important for under- standing the essence of humankind. Problems related to the under- standing of interpersonal relationships and their place in the broader educational process are also key issues in the philosophy of dialogue, as perceived by Józef Tischner. Therefore, the article first presents the main outlines of the philosophy of dialogue, understood as a starting point for education; then it emphasizes the importance of dialogue in education and the role of the meeting between teacher and student in the educational process. Over the last two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, interpersonal relationships have been greatly limited and sometimes even impossible, while the learning process was carried out remotely. With this in mind, the article discusses the ethical dimen- sion of education in both real and virtual meetings. The main aim of the article is to draw attention to the threats facing today’s changing education and to emphasize one of the important elements of educa- tion, which is educational dialogue.
