Sergiusz Hessen as a Publicist in Kultura i wychowanie (“Culture and Education”) between 1933–1939
Abstract
The specific character of the interwar period promoted the development of specialist magazines,
among others, also magazines from the field of pedagogy. Those periodicals published discussions
and disputes which were a creative contribution of Polish thinkers, scholars and teachers-practicians
into the process of the restoration of Poland by means of improving the quality of educational
activities. Kultura i Wychowanie (“Culture and Education”) was one of such magazines which owed
its high specialist level mainly to its chief editor – Bogdan Suchodolski.
Kultura i Wychowanie attracted a number of eminent authors, including Sergiusz Hessen. The
presented article focuses on the works of this Russian pedagogue published in the discussed magazine
and, first of all, his contribution into the construction of the theoretical foundations of the Polish
pedagogy of culture from the period of the Second Polish Republic.
The articles of Hessen, published in B. Suchodolski’s periodical, were an elaboration of the
philosophy which the author presented earlier in his book Podstawy pedagogiki (“The Foundations
of Pedagogy”). They were also preparatory considerations to his subsequent book entitled
O sprzecznościach i jedności wychowania (“On Contradictions and Unity of Education”). The
subjects of these articles concern two areas: the essence and meaning of Weltanschaung and the role
of the concept of general education.
The author of the article specifies in S. Hessen’s works published in the magazine Kultura
i Wychowanie a number of ideas and concepts which contributed to the formation of the theoretical
foundations of the Polish pedagogy of culture in the interwar period. They included:
– a concept of a teacher fulfilling a role of a liberating authority; the liberating and upbringing
education; the idea of “acquiring” personality via “acquiring” one’s own Weltanschaung; a constant
tension between community and individualism; co-creation of culture by individual people as the
main factor of its development; the manifestation of the layers of existence at the subsequent stages
of education.
