W poszukiwaniu nowej utopii: idea rewolucji edukacyjnej Jacka Kuronia

Abstract

The aim of the article is to reconstruct the project of common education revolution of Jacek Kuroń. The base for this concept is found in the conviction that in the modern times, dominated by globalisations issues, human problems can only be solved globally. This project in an attempt to find a solution to contemporary problems through education and upbringing. The critical judgement of the changes taking place in the world at the end of the century and the previous socio-ideological experience made Jacek Kuroń create the project of “global education revolution”, intent to change the face of Human and the world. He claimed that there is a need for a global debate in all possible forms, in order to create a programme of a common educational revolution, the realisation of which may be an efficient counterweight to the contemporary, neoliberal globalisation of the world. Implementing the changes may be initiated only by the proper education movement, presenting itself in the creation of a new type of schools and other educational facilities, as well as formulation of a new vision of a grand social change and a deep change of interpersonal relations in the individual and common aspect, based on social justice. This is a voice of a moralist and humanist, vulnerable to human harm and feeling responsible for the future.
