Abstract

In the book The Morally-Social Education (1936) by Bogdan Suchodolski the idea and practice of traditional morally-social education has been subjected to a profound critical examination. The morally-social development refers to human personality on the whole and it grows and changes throughout our whole life. Therefore, education should not be limited to some sort of “educational time” in contradiction to/as opposed to a “life time” nor should it be separated from an individual’s environmental changes both in close and remote perspective. In this context Suchodolski proves the uselessness of preparatory education emphasizing the significance of participating and reforming education. Thus, the morally-social education should consist in the kind of personal education which enables her/him to achieve independence in self-education and through development of the inner-self, social and cultural life abilities. This is achieved not in the intellectual way, but integrally, by surpassing the level of hitherto progress through love and creativity in establishing/developing a community. This is due to the nature of personal work which leads to inner development of personality and socializing participation in the surrounding reality.

Keywords:

personality, morally-social education meant as humanistic self-education, love, human work, exchange of experiences, community throughout creating participation, selection and contemplation, moral independence
