EDUCATION AS A MOVEMENT OF HUMAN EXISTENCE
This article deals with the issue of education in the context of the work of Jan Patocka. Education is considered in the form of three movements of human existence: receiving, reproduction and transcendence. It reveals the relationship between Patocka's theory of education as a movement of human existence and modern European traditions and discusses the meanings of this theory for today's theories on education. Education is understood as a chance to meet a generation on common ground and as a dialogue, conflict and struggle across the generations. It is also understood as a continuity of culture and discontinuity of necessary metamorphoses, as a symmetric and asymmetric relationship based on responsibility.
