Summary/Abstract: The starting point of this paper is derived from considerations of two opposing functions of education: socialization and liberation (Richard Rorty). Their irreducible antagonism, not only poses an essence of contemporary tensions and challenges of education, but also presents, how problematic the definition of education is and should be, because in this case a simplification would mean — among other things — shrinking from teachers’ responsibility for comprehensive educational influence and their own professional development. Unfortunately, in theoretical discourse of education teachers are often shown just as knowledge transmitters and pushed aside of crucial disputes. The article considers two aesthetics of being in culture as a remedy for such situation.
