MORAL DISAGREEMENTS OF THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD VERSUS INTERCULTURAL EDUCATION
MORAL DISAGREEMENTS OF THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD VERSUS INTERCULTURAL EDUCATION

Summary/Abstract: The current paper aims to highlight the indestructible connection between ethical education and intercultural education, whose shared goal is to cultivate humanity, homo humanus, in the meaning prefigured by the German existentialist Karl Jaspers. Among the defining traits of the humankind, we chose dignity that urges respect, regardless of people’s belonging to a specific ethnic group, race, culture etc. Rehabilitation of the human being in a society characterized by mercantilism entails revitalization of Kant’s categorical imperative, adjusted to the contemporary individual’s condition and educational endeavors able to go beyond the institutional framework. Culture and morality (perceived as a component of culture) may offer, through a conjugated attempt, approaches to solving the existential distress of the contemporary individual.
