Summary/Abstract: The article refers to the lesson of Polish language given by the author, the aim of which was to examine the mechanism of negotiating the limits of interpretation as a language act, and to assess the student’s creativity. Such a way of designing a lesson is subject to, above all, two concepts deriving from the sphere of philosophical and sociological thought: ‘transgression’ and ‘horizon of expectations’. Both phenomena have a decisive impact on the work of creative thinking in the school space as an institution of knowledge. The researcher, by referring to the practice of the teaching profession, gives reasons behind the importance of one of Martha Nussbaum’s postulates in humanistic education, that is, the duty to support critical thinking.
