Czy może istnieć edukacja bez filozofii?
Can there be education without philosophy?

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to compare two models of education. The first is the instrumentalmodel which perceives education as a process of preparing students for future professionallife. The second one perceives education as a way to build our individuality. The instrumentaland economical model became very popular in the second half of the 20th century and stillstrengthens its position. The second model sees itself as a continuation of long Europeanhistory of philosophy of education and serves as the counterbalance to the instrumental model.In the paper it will be argued that the second (classical) model of education is more useful forthe development of Western liberal democracies while the first one perceives an individual toa client and replases the development of a culture to an economic growth. It will be arguedthat the economic model omits the nature of our cultural identity and misinterprets integralgoals of the process of education.
