Abstract

The text attempts to answer the following questions: does the theory of the person and the theory of the pedagogy of the person accord with the human condition?; do these theories support pedagogy of the person or do they rather ob- struct the pedagogy as the theories encourage to embody the unattainable human persons’ model? In my attempts to answer these questions, I consider the problem of forgiveness as one of the dimensions of man’s personal updating dimension as well as the problem of moral defects that develop in human nature alongside the moral virtues. The analysis concludes that development of the person in full is impossible for man to attain. Accordingly, I seek the dimensions the person’s pedagogy should be extended with in order to be adequate to the human condi- tion. I identify the two issues recognised in the pedagogy of the person theory: upbringing towards own body and contingency approval and education towards forgiveness – forgiving oneself and others. My considerations are also supported with theological reflections.
