Różnojednia, czyli (po)nowoczesna koncepcja dydaktyki komplementarnej Bronisława F. Trentowskiego
Multiunity or a (post)modern conception of a complementary didactics by Bronisław F. Trentowski

Summary/Abstract: The article is a recapitulation that has been made so far of an extremely difficult and original work of B.F. Trentowski. He describes, among other things, how every cognitive process can be threatened by reductionism, limited either to receptive or perceptive extraspection or to perceptive or receptive introspection. The theory presented by the author is fully complementary in relation to education theories existing hitherto, and it allows in human education to formulate comprehensively the contents and functions of the educators and the educated in the sphere of external and internal world. This makes possible to withdraw from extremely formalistic or behavioral strategy, as well as to take into account transgression and prospective strategies in different educational processes, thus to move considerably the stress from product-oriented education to process-oriented education. Therefore, there appears an attempt to give a picture of understanding model and of practicing an integral didactics linking reproductive with creativeness, vertical thinking with horizontal thinking, perceptions with emotions etc. The permanent crisis of modern pedagogy (sometimes too rashly associated with post-modernism, non-adaptation to other scientific disciplines or even other fields of humanities) may by overcome to some degree by dynamism and inclusiveness of Trentowski’s “philosophic pedagogy” that makes it possible to avoid faults of “artificial split” of relatively unite space of thought and existence, theory and history, nobility and benefit.
