Sažetak
The idea of human education by the German philosopher of religion Bernhard Welte, which is outlined in Zur Idee einer humanen Bildung aus christlichem Geist (=Gesammelte Schriften I/4) [On the Idea of a Humane Education from a Christian Spirit (=Collected Writings I/4)], and which is also elaborated in the miscellany Christian education and schooling nowadays, is of the uttermost importance in understanding his thoughts on the Unconditional as a Secret which transcends everything. It is the matter of how one can formulate a response to this Secret, taking into consideration the responsibility one has in transmitting pedagogical and educational objectives to others, which they will have to learn from him/her. Schools, universities, pedagogical and educational institutions have been facing great challenges arising from the social and technical transformations. At the same time, some elementary questions about the human education and schooling have reemerged: what is actually education and schooling of people? Who can be named an educated person? What are the characteristics of a good school? For Christians, all these issues are again in vigour because of the specific conditions of Christian education and schooling, having in mind all the precarities this type of education has to face in our times. In the concluding part, on the basis of the previous knowledge, the author contemplates, alongside Welte’s poem, about what we should do so that the education and the pedagogical processes might gain the human character which will be based in the Christian Spirit.
