Abstract

In the perspective of humanistic pedagogy, humanistic education at school is more than just teaching humanities. Humanistic pedagogy, without denying the standardization of school education, postulates taking into account its existential dimension. Self-understanding, reading the meanings and values of various life forms as well as their interpretation and internalization should become important elements of education. This understanding of the didactic process results from the humanistic concept of man. According to this approach, a human being is not only an empirical being, but also a significant being. Understanding was adopted as the basic epistemological and ontological category of the humanities and education in the field of humanities.
