Pedagogika Jacka Woronieckiego i Feliksa Wojciecha Bednarskiego jako egzemplifikacja etyki tomizmu tradycyjnego
Jacek Woroniecki’s and Feliks Wojciech Bednarski’s Pedagogics as an Exemplification of the Traditional Thomism

Summary/Abstract: In the article there are discussed philosophical presuppositions of Woroniecki’s and Bednarski’s theory of education, which are principally determined by the moral phi-losophy of traditional Thomism. The traditional Thomism is one of the earliest inter-pretations of Thomas Aquinas’ thought. That current was entirely formulated on the turn of XIX and XX century, though its origin went back to Aquinas and his commen-tators. Presently, traditional Thomism has been displaced by more integral approach to St. Thomas’ philosophy, i.e. by existential Thomism (the Lublin Philosophical School) and consequent Thomism (the Warsaw School of Consequent Thomism). Nevertheless, Woroniecki’s and Bednarski’s pedagogics still may be an inspiration for theoreticians and practitioners of education. Their theory of education is an up-to-date proposition. Among its attributes there are the realistic apprehension of human act and education, the theory of efficiency and virtue, and – referring to it – the education of intellect, will, emotions, impulses, which embraces the formation of human character. In this way, the approach of these two authors to human education is what used to be called “paedagogia perennis.”
