Pedagogy is a term relating to two another terms: upbringing (as a part of social reality) and pedagogics/education (as a science). The main category (and the first determination) of a pedagogy is a person – the most perfect form of a being (St. Thomas Aquinas). Second one is a good theory – it means a good philosophy: existential, realistic, rationalist (open to the truth), and analogical. The third is a good practice (open for the theory, not individualistic, positive). There are two difficulties: 1) from outside: crisis of contemporary thought (skepticism, utilitaria- nism, sentimentalism; 2) from inside: subjectivism, individualism, conformity, false spirituality. The main challenges are: giving an practical response for a question of individualism and pluralism, giving a distinct pedagogical proposition of (per- sonalistic) education and a present contemporary version of paideia.
