Summary/Abstract: The text poses the question about the possibility and the way of practising today’s philosophicalpedagogy. For this purpose it refers to its 19th century example elaborated for pedagogy by thephilosopher Bronisław F. Trentowski in his work Chowanna. In the discussion of this concept,the author of the text reflects on the renewed formula of philosophical pedagogy. She arguesthat scientific development of pedagogy is conducive to conducting a philosophical reflectionwithin it and with its own initiative. In other words, the reflection on the sense of educationand on the justification of methods of pedagogical impact, based on philosophical resources andon the research methods of humanities, performed in parallel to the empirical studies, helpspedagogy as a whole to fulfil its purpose. Also it protects pedagogy against politicisation,indoctrination and instrumentalisation of its subject. Philosophically reinforced pedagogy canalso strengthen philosophy by providing it with in-depth knowledge of education taken fromthe rich educational thought of philosophers.
