Abstract

The intention of introducing humanistic education into the modern education becomes an unrealistic pedagogical utopia. The main characteristics and constrains of socio-economical system and technocratism influence this utopia picture the most. However, proper organisation and coherence of modern education system makes the humanistic education non-alternative, necessary and inalienable. Thanks to the humanistic education we can preserve and shape effectively the model of multilaterally developed human as well as shape the desired quality of his existence and humanity. All in all, the humanistic education is one of the factors conditioning outlasting of a human as a human. The article develops these theses and undertakes an attempt to validate them.
