Pedagogika egzystencji w obliczu starzejącego się społeczeństwa
The Pedagogy of Existence in the Face of an Aging Society

Summary/Abstract: The main idea of this article is to highlight the possibility for people to receive important developmental stimuli that are relevant to their existence at every stage of life, not excluding the last phase of life, through the use of knowledge in various areas of the humanities and social sciences. This scattered knowledge should be comprehensively utilized by pedagogy as a science that is particularly sensitive to the developmental impact on all generations of people in every stage of their lives, with special attention to the elderly. Aware of the multidimensionality of human existence, pedagogy should take care to assimilate new stimuli for human development, which are necessary in every phase of human life, not excluding the last one: old age. In view of the multiple existential challenges facing modern society, it is necessary to consider whether pedagogy in its various disciplinary scopes is able to approach a person holistically and understand human life integrally. The responsibility for the quality of human life, both young and old, makes it necessary to draw inspiration and “read” the tropes across all scientific disciplines, while treating the human being holistically and caring for a life lived in a valuable way.
