Edukacja etyczna zorientowana na współpracę w kontekście neoliberalnych transformacji
Ethical education centered on cooperation in the context of neoliberal transformations

Summary/Abstract: New problems appear for the development of individuals and the society in the context of global neoliberal transformations, international financial institutions as well as economic, political, technological, communication and cultural changes. It is necessary to make a reflection when we observe the unethical consequences of neoliberalism in today’s world and the influence it has on educational policy, especially on ethical education, as well as teaching and upbringing issues. In this paper an attempt was made to find alternative educational solutions, especially in the field of ethical education, that would encourage the development of individuals and democratic society. The author used the theory of human behaviors (Michael Tomasello) and based on this theory – the concept of shared intentionality, which is promoted by Hans-Ludwig Kroeber, to show some alternatives for ethical education. The conclusions derived from this analysis provide a new perspective on the structure and quality of education and especially on the cognitive and ethical development of young people and also their value system. Cognitive and ethical education in cooperative and democratic community, based on concept of shared intentionality, seems to be one of alternatives to the neoliberal vision of individuals and society.
