The New Education and Virtual Humankind

Barbara Anna Markiewicz

Abstract

The author presents a new education project connected with Rawls’ model of a well-ordered society. The most important element of this project is moral education. Modern liberalism (e.g. Th. Pangle) identifies moral education with civic education. The author finds this way of thinking about one’s participation in social and political life rather interesting and needed. However, what does the anthropological foundation of these concepts look like? The very idea of human being – as a rational individual alone – is assumed as the subject of the process of education. The author tries to show that this idea is very close to the concept of human being one could call virtual.
