Educational Relationship in the Context of Karol Wojtyła’s Moral Teaching about the Human Act

Abstract

The article deals with the issue of understanding the educational relationship from the perspective of K. Wojtyła’s moral teaching about human act. It consists of three parts. The first one presents the understanding of the educational relationship, which is the material subject of the main article. The second part operationalizes the issue of moral teaching about the human act as understood by K. Wojtyla, which is the formal subject. The last part presents the conditions of the educational relationship presented in a new theoretical context. The main conclusions include the fact that the essential condition for so interpreted relationship between the educator and the pupil must be the existence of the so-called ‘moment of causation,’ i.e. the educator’s free and conscious involvement in the process of upbringing.
