Abstract
This article presents reflections on the realistic foundations of pedagogy. The main theses put forward are: 1. Realism as a philosophical idea is not the aim of pedagogy, but rather a fundamental condition thereof; 2. A realistic attitude also entails the confirmation of the subjectivity of man; 3. Subjectivity refers firstly to the realm of feelings and sensations, secondly, to the realm of consciousness and cognitive acts, and thirdly and most importantly, to the realm of spiritual life: acts of intellect and will; 4. The category of truth is more effective and deeper in pedagogy than the category of realism; 5. There are many interesting and important questions to consider in that subject, for example: the significance of "non-real" matters for upbringing (such as future projects, dreams, and fantasies), what it means "to love in reality" (or in truth), or the question of "selfless engagement".
