Journal Title: Studia Paedagogica Ignatiana. Rocznik Wydziału Pedagogicznego Akademii Ignatianum w Krakowie - Year 2018, Vol 21, Issue 3
Abstract
Authenticity currently poses a tremendous challenge for the process of education. The authenticity of being, acting and interpersonal relations seems to be a particularly important subject in the context of the development of methods of communication that favor the possibilities of concealing one’s true self and adopting the desired attitudes or behaviors. The article aims to show the category of authenticity and its complexity in the process of education in the sense of personal and existential pedagogy of Janusz Tarnowski. This category is a particularly important condition for Tarnowski, essential for a pedagogical process, often threatened by the use of unilateral violence. Tarnowski connects the authenticity with the realization of the one and only existence. The authenticity understood in this way includes the following factors: internal depth, intense training and life consistency. Therefore, the authenticity as a pedagogical category is included in the context of the “authentic existence” being at the same time the basis and condition for the existence of a real dialogue in the education.
