Modern Subjectivity and Self-Education

Slobodan Sadžakov

Sažetak

Philosophy has always shown great interest in mediating its own achievements in a given practical-social life, holding that a virtuous and meaningful life can be formed only by adhering to its insights. Within this context, the question of self-education is detected as important for the possible mediation of philosophical knowledge. Today, in respect of the increasingly drastic consequence of the current particularisation of knowledge, the domination and dictate of ontologised Capital and the associated danger of one-sided education, the need to philosophically inquire into and reflect on education indeed does exist. The moments of the philosophical approach to education can be detected in its insisting on the achievements of its own subjects (e.g., ethics, political philosophy, aesthetics, etc.), and in the pointing out of the historical parameters of modern liberty (both the achieved and the possible). What lies in the centre of these parameters is the factum of modern individuality, i.e. the power of the self-guidance of individuals, which implies that, throughout his/her education, the individual should not be reduced to a passive object, i.e. an object to be modeled by the governing social groups, certain ideological paradigms, etc.
