THE HUMAN RIGHTS AND EDUCATION – PHILOSOPHICAL AND ETHICAL FOUNDATIONS
Milena Radovan Burja
Abstract
Starting from the expectation that in the 21st century education would help people in becoming aware of the issues regarding the development of a more democratic, more tolerant and more responsible world, the author philosophically questions the fundamental concepts connected with human rights and freedoms, the globalisation of rights, universal values, today's context of equality, the humanity and responsibility (with particular focus on the Kantian tradition, , J. Rawls and M. Nussbaum), and attempts to answer the following question: what can education and society do in respect of the idea of man as a free and dignified being, and in respect of the concept of connection between the development of individuals and the development of a more democratic society?
