Paradygmat humanistyczny w pedagogice
The humanistic paradigm in pedagogy

Summary/Abstract: This article presents reflections on the idea of pedagogical paradigm and humanistic point of view in sciences. There are three parts in the article: the category of paradigm, remarks on the idea of humanum, and the specificity of pedagogical paradigm. The idea of paradigm created by T. Kuhn is a controversial category, because it is not clear what the reason to accept new paradigm is or what the criteria to compare one with ten other are. The important question is “pluralism of paradigms”. There are two approaches concerning this question: the first one means that various theories and models result from different aspects, points of view, and research aims. The second one denies transcendence and universality of truth and unity (cohesion) of reality. The first one is acceptable, the second – not, because it makes so many important methodological problems. His consideration on idea of humanum, the author starts with short remarks on bullshit (Harry G. Frankfurt). This concept of humanum is unclear and not so important now, because it has become a kind of ideology and lacks notions of transcendence. The last part shows the specificity and perspectives of pedagogy.
