Mądrość jako cel wychowania. Wybrane teorie, implikacje praktyczne, podstawowe problemy

Abstract

Wisdom might be, and quite often is, one of the most important purposes of education. At the same time, there is no clarity about the its meaning and relations to education. The goal of the article is to analyse the issue of wisdom as an educational goal, based on the classical meaning of the term ‘wisdom’ (Socrates, Plato, Aristotle), which still constitutes a paradigm in philosophical and educational considerations. The article is divided into three parts. Firstly, the theoretical and semantic aspects of wisdom are indicated. Secondly, practical possibilities of application of the idea of wisdom as an aim of education are discussed. At the end, the author points out the philosophical and semantic problems which make this idea hard to apply.
