The problem of upbringing in anthropology of Konstanty Michalski

Summary/Abstract: Theory of upbringing of Konstanty Michalski is based on his understanding of man. Michalski claims that man is a spiritual-bodily unity in which we may distinguish the following parts: spirit, soul and body. Th e diff erence between spirit and soul is of functional character. Spirit is a function of soul in which man reaches contact with God. Human body is something foreign to spirit. Whereas soul is present in its function of informing human body and has a contact with body. Soul serves a function of an informant for the body. Such understood structure of man has infl uence on the process of upbringing. Michalski is convinced that the function of spirit is important for upbringing. Hence, we nurture a man to enable him to be a man in its fullness. Fullness, thus, can be attained when we approach God. For that reason pedagogy worked out by Michalski is Catholic pedagogy, and its roots we fi nd in the approach to God as the highest and absolute goodness.
