Abstract:

In the article, authors semantically analyze the expressive norms of “value” in respect to the axiological concepts of happiness, beauty and security, embedding modern “education for security” in the tradition of Aristotle’s study of the necessary, useful and beautiful things. The attention is then turned to the resulting military and pacifist entanglements of such education. In following deliberation, there is a reference to the recognition by Stefan Kunowski of the three systems of being, and the three philosophies of education, evolving namely around the following values: Christian – rooted in Love, socialist – rooted in Struggle, and liberal – rooted in Freedom. Through a critical re-evaluation of these philosophes and systems, one can notice that they point to the fourth system implied in the philosophy of security. It is a system of contemporary “education for security” based on custody, care and control, and, control over oneself and others. In resulting final part of the article, authors outline the paradigm of this modern education for security, and place it in respect to both, the universal axiological value plain, and the four pillars of the Delors Report entitled “Education has a hidden force in it”. The pillars recommended by this Report are general and refer to: knowledge, cooperation, and acting, as well as, being. According to the authors, the implementation of education resting on these pillars is intentional and creative, of the equally, the cognitive civilization (the civilization of rational people), and the enlightened – one that is secure.
