Abstract

The authors deal with three different philosophic ideas about the human being and three different models of education. The first model is the model of radical individualism which does not recognize any value of other human being (F. Nietzsche). That being educates himself/herself necessarily. The second model is a model of different figures of a friend and an enemy (J. Derrida). The education in the function of the publicly or politically mediated reality corresponds to this model. At last, the third model is the model of the anthropology of values (P. Vuk Pavlović). The authors show that in this last model we can see the mixture of the anthropological and educational area. With this model we can avoid the tensions between the idea of individualism and collectivism, personal and social, friendly and hostile, and a human being is observed as the receiver and the giver of values.
