Pedagogical love in changeable social and cultural contexts: the complementary of the anthropological and functionalistic approaches

Abstract

This article oȃers considering functional possibilities of the pedagogical live and it’s functioning in the changeable social and cultural contexts. The metaphoric and semantics of the pedagogical life are analyzed which unveil its social origin, value’s orientations and the role reality in the recursive closed system of education and in educational realities. The distinctions between anthropological and functionalistic interpretation are explicated. Taking one of them absolutely can provoke the formalization of the pedagogical love and its instrumentality application with the consequence to lose the value orientation. It is proving that excessive emphasizing of the pedagogical live in the form of declaration might be regarded as giving evidence of the ideological manipulation both on the level of pedagogical relations “teacher–pupil” and on the level of society. The empirical foundation for the analyze of the appearance forms of the pedagogical love is based on works of W. Suchomlinski and A. Makarenko as the representatives of the heart-central tradition of the Ukrainian philosophical tradition which was founded by H. Skoworoda. The deformations of pedagogical love in the theory and practice of the communist education are regarded in the optic of the tragic anthropology because the pedagogical live in totalitarian societies proposes the struggle with the class enemies. The German discourse upon the problems connected with the pedagogical live gives also very impulses for rethinking this phenomenon in new social and cultural contexts. The pedagogical love in its alien form is often misused in political ideology, especially in educational policy as an available resource needed for completing both the creature of defect and society of defect. This resource is considered as a renewal one, because it must be generated by human being in diİcult economic situations. The pedagogical love is often used for replacing political decisions into pedagogical #eld.
