Sažetak
In order to become a human person at fullest, a person needs to be allowed to develop all his capabilities and potentials. In other words, he needs education and formation. Moral and intellectual capabilities are the foremost important. Aristotle pointed to the importance of development and perfection of intellectual and moral virtues. Today the intellectual capabilities are accentuated, and it is discussed whether the schools should act in the field of development of moral qualities, formation. Since we live in a society undergoing constant changes, and in which from day to day new knowledge is discovered, a man, i.e. a student must constantly be encouraged to research, critically think and evaluate everything that surrounds him. Knowledge is not given one time for good, it has to be discovered and constantly questioned, that opens possibilities for a continuous evaluation and the possibility of taking a stand towards virtues. By the choice of a theme, i.e. of a problem, and its possible solutions teacher/professor opened the possibility for a discussion regarding the choice and evaluation of a certain solution. In this sense in schools a parallel intellectual and moral education is going on, albeit in a somewhat different manner in respect to the past. Let us hope that it will continue.
