Abstract

The main purpose of the presented article is to present the proposal of education for peace, which, regardless of the presented worldview option, is the ideal of modern education. At the basis of the presented concept is the famous sentence by the great scientist Paweł Włodkowic, which was later adopted by many European Universities as the motto of their academic activity – the motto: "Plus ratio quam vis". Which literally translates to: More brains than strength. Therefore, the author refers to classical anthropology and from it draws a clear conclusion for contemporary education for peace: if today we want to educate in the spirit of democracy and peace, we must first start with the basic value, which is the human being.
