Idea of general education and quality of a human being

Abstract

In this text the author presents problematic aspect of dependence between human’s development and quality of education as well as the sociocultural context, in which educational processes are being realised. The author draws attention to the need of general, holistic and humanistic education, which would make us able to form a “complete”, “harmonious” human, who extracts all his altruistic features from his semantic psyche and sociocultural potential. At the same time the harmonious human becomes the “plenipotentiary” human. Such a point of view on educational process is the answer to present one-sided education, determined by pragmatic tendencies, which is clearly far from realisation of general human development.
