Abstract

In this interview, Professor Tadeusz Sławek reflects on the contemporary story about the world and the obligations of the humanities in a world troubled by various crises, especially those related climate, refugees, and the epidemic or, broadly, ecology. These reflections are carried out in the context of the current social, political, and ethical situation and lead to the question regarding the contemporary way of practicing the humanities in school in general, and in the Polish school in particular. In the conversation, Tadeusz Sławek refers to some old masters: Friedrich Schiller, Plato, Baruch Spinoza, to justify the long-standing and venerable idea of education. According to this idea, students are faced with the task of telling what and how they think, rather than reporting on what they know. Education is a process of revealing doubts and asking questions, rather than reproducing received opinions and other people’s knowledge.
