Journal Title: Zeszyty Naukowe Wyższej Szkoły Humanitas w Sosnowcu. Pedagogika - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue
Abstract
A disquieting phenomenon of stupidity’s epidemic can be observed at present. Stupidity has always been an element of human existence and the issue is widely described in the literature. The paper is a continuation of the discussion initiated in my work of 2017 Socrates Reversed or the Foolishness of the Internet, where I have analyzed the causes of that phenomenon. In the present paper, further philosophical, social and cultural aspects are studied. This timely issue is an urgent challenge for education and the future society’s development. The stupidity’s epidemic is connected with many factors, e.g. with Internet cultural imperialism. The paper presents chosen causes of the phenomenon and methods of prevention.<br/><br/>
