Doskonałość jako kategoria pedagogiczna. Poszukiwania w obszarze pism polskich neotomistów
Perfection as a Pedagogical Category. Evidence from the Works of Polish Neo-Thomists

Summary/Abstract: The article is based on the category of perfection. The author begins by symbolically showing the origin of this concept in philosophical thought: the sources of the concept as well as the evolution of various definitions and conceptualisations of perfection. Then, she points to the relationship between excellence and concepts related to education (kalokagathia, paideia). The main purpose of this article is to situate the category of perfection in Neo-Thomistic thought. This takes place in such areas as: upbringing, morality, purposes of education and purposes of life. Among the works of Polish Neo-Thomists, the author seeks appeals to perfection, forms of its perception and the scope of this category. The analysis chiefly aims to show the relationship between the concepts of perfection, virtue and efficiency.
