Summary/Abstract: One of the greatest theoretical achievements of philosophical pedagogy in the last century is Sergius Hessen’s worldview dialectic. According to this concept, philosophical thinking protects pedagogy and education against ideological degeneration. Ideology is understood here as a gesture of closure (one-sidedness, exclusion of otherness and imperious mobilization). Hessen’s concept allows us to combine issues of the traditional criticism of ideology (manipulation, falsehood) with a more recent approach to it (inevitable social construction). It is also a good starting point for emphasizing the hermeneutical, dialectical and axiological dimensions of philosophical pedagogy. In the historical situation in which we find ourselves, in the midst of neo-tribalism, narcissistic consumerism, the culture of mental distraction, neo-authoritarianism, etc. – i.e. phenomena conducive to the ideologization of social life (including education) – philosophical pedagogy becomes not only an academic way of refl ecting on issues of education, but also an area of existential hope.
