The philosophy of the dialogue and its pedagogical implications

Abstract

The way in which the human being is perceived is central to the philosophy of the dialogue. It presents the man as the one focused on himself, but all the same as someone who is prepared to begin a relationship with others. Different philosophers of the dialogue perceived these issues in various ways. It should also be added that the philosophy of the dialogue is rooted in the opposition to the general tendencies of modern philosophy, as it negates both the object and subject. It is also the philosophy of deeds: it separates the man from the world of pure ideas on the behalf of the experiences based on the existential and face-to-face relationships between people. The other man is perceived here as the most fundamental reality of existential experience. Therefore, the upbringing process involves freeing and activating personal possibilities of the Other man, authentic “being for someone”, encouraging pupils/students by the means of personal model, as well as being sensitive to others.
