Summary/Abstract: The current paper explores Negreţ-Dobrior’s (2008) reference to the views of thinkers such as Dwayne Huebner (1959), Louise M. Berman (1968), Gerard Weinstein and Mario Fratini (1970), in order to endorse the understanding of humanistic education as a powerful tool of personal development. It aims at revisiting the axiological framework promoted by the above-mentioned theorists, in order to plea for the humanistic education to be considered as “curriculum of affect”. In this sense, it advocates that humanistic education be regarded in a specific sense, that of the embeddedness of foreign language teaching into education for human rights1.
