Inspired by Korczak. About Prawidła życia [Rules of Life] on the 80th anniversary of its publication

Collection Janusz Korczak Association of Canada
Description This book is an outcome of the work of a team of educationalists who took up the task to take an indepth look at only one of Janusz Korczak’s works, i.e. his Prawidła życia [Rules of Life]. Although over 80 years have passed since the book was first published, it seems that it still contains an enormous inspirational potential. The authors put together the results of their own research experiences with the message of the Old Doctor hence we encounter different perspectives: philosophical, that of special education, psychological, that of cultural education, feminist, that of social education, multicultural and ultimately considerations which are the effect of teaching practice. A differentiated approach gave an opportunity to probe various aspects of Korczak’s thought and to bring out that which is still current and interesting in it. Research work on the text of Prawidła życia [Rules of Life] gave as a result a polyphony of voices showing the unusual complexity and many layers of Korczak's thought. This book is an attempt at a dialogue with a fragment of Janusz Korczak’s masterpiece, which is his Prawidła życia [Rules of Life]. Authors of the texts contained in this book confronted the Old Doctor’s text with modern realities and their own research experience. The effect of this research are in-depth considerations of the problems to which Korczak drew attention 80 years ago. His texts should continuously be considered as an important material, which inspires humanists to thoroughly reflect on man and his development during his whole life.
