Lidství, věda a svět jako konstituenty Evropy a jejich proměna ve 20. století. Příklad marxistické pedagogiky

Abstract

This article tries to highlight main characteristics of the metaphysical frame of Marxist pedagogy. At first, it is important to see that the concept of ideology alone (in the question regarding totalitarian ideologies) presupposes a very specific metaphysic, i.e. metaphysic of the representing subject and subject of representations-ideas. In such a metaphysic a specific decision about humanity of man as well as worldliness of the world is introduced in the form of re-presentation and objectifying. How the humanity of man is understood? Is there not, under the political rhetoric of ideologies (totalitarian and not- -totalitarian) a deeper common ground hidden, as our reference to the metaphysics of the subject was supposed to indicate? Insofar as upbringing in the European tradition has a sense of bringing man up to his own humanity, there is an implicit concept of human being in every concept of education. And insofar as man is not only an object in the world but also the “subject for the world” (Husserl), every such concept is arising from the correlation man-world. We would like to look more closely at the conditions of this correlation man-world in 20th century.
