Abstract

The text analyzes the category of dialogue and meeting in the pedagogical thought of Józef Tischner in a particular way. The conclusions presented contained here are a continuation and deepening of the research presented in the monographic work “Pedagogical and religious concepts od Józef Tischner. In search of a new model of religious education”. The main thesis of the article is to indicate the fundamental role, place and meaning of the category of dialogue and meeting in the structure of educational content emerging from the concept of the philosophy of drama. At the outset, the general assumptions of Tischner's philosophy are outlined in order to indicate the context of educational analyses which constitute analyzes that make up the drama pedagogy project. On this basis, the categories of dialogue, dialogicality and meeting are presented in detail. These categories play a very important role in development and creative processes. The thesis of the position presented here is the recognition that the work of Józef Tischner not only provides valuable hints in contemporary education, but also designs positive solutions that may contribute to the creation of new models and strategies of educational work, and to good educational practices in their space. On the 90th anniversary of the author's birththere is a special occasion to verify the thesis put forward in this way.
