In philosophical thought of Janusz Korczak the idea of human
freedom was connected with concepts of free will and responsibility.
In this discussion man’s overexposed need for safety, was
seen as biggest threat to freedom. Therefore Korczak argued with
middle-class morality, which he was seeing as weak and lacking
of spiritual core. Korczak had no doubts, that children should
learn the basics of freedom by participating in decision concerning
their own lives.
