On the modern educational discourse
On the basis of the methodological concept of pedagogical hermeneutics and from the position of the ethical pedagogics, the author considers the comprehension and interpretation problem of the pedagogical reality in the modern educational discourse. The basic concepts of the professional communication in the higher education, vital questions of the moral education influenced by authoritarian and humanistic ethics are analyzed in detail. The authoritarian pedagogical position of the teacher in the educational process and the authoritarian model used by him in the interaction with the students do not allow the latter to develop in the atmosphere of humanism and spirituality and to assimilate the corresponding norms of behavior. Ethical pedagogics, on the contrary, creates conditions for the individual to be fully self-actualized in meaningful communication and socially useful activity.
