Karol Wojtyła's Concept of Moral Obligation and the Understanding of the Essence of Education

Summary/Abstract: The present text attempts to answer the question concerning the sources, content and essence of moral obligation, as it is was conceived of by Karol Wojty]a, and the importance of moral obligation for the understanding of education. The essence of education, seen through the prism of the category of “moral obligation”, points to the a f f i r m a t i o n o f t h e d i g n i t y o f t h e p e r s o n as the foundation of education according to the personalistic approach. The pupil, following the personalistic norm, i.e. affirming the person, becomes morally good and thus fulfils his/her moral obligation. Preparing the pupil to discover and affirm the human dignity (which, in practice, means teaching to love) is the fundamental goal of educating the human being as a person and the necessary basis for other, particular educational goals. Love as a response to the dignity of a person is the content of moral obligation and the essence of personalistic education.
