Teaching religion in secondary schools
This article focuses on Catholic religious education in secondary schools in Poland. We present a qualitative project encompassing 22 semi-structured interviews with secondary school students who opted out of RE. The theoretical context for the analyses is the spiritual/humanistic development of secondary school students. From this perspective, it is important to pay attention to the subjectivity of the students and the building of an educational…
Self-forgiveness and moral education
Forgiveness and decision-making by victims of harm
The significance of harm to the life and development of victims results from the deprivation of certain goods and the violation of their dignity. The experience also impacts the decisions made by the victims regarding the perpetrators and others and, thus, their moral development. In this article, the relationship between the forgiveness and moral reasoning of victims of harm to life is discussed and the unusual and controversial thesis is propos…
The Christian concept of forgiveness and religious education facing the problem of individualism
The analysis undertaken in this article pertain to the challenge faced by education, which consists of overcoming the negative aspects of contemporary individualism, such as the building of instrumental relationships by people maturing in a culture permeated with it. Consequently, there is limited responsibility taken for the other people co-creating these relationships. The author puts forward the thesis that the Christian concept of forgiveness…
Forgiveness and its value from the perspective of educational relationship
Forgiveness is usually analysed in terms of the benefits to victims or perpetrators. When referring to victims, attention is focused on overcoming the negative emotions caused by harm or achieving good that is important to them. In this article, the issue of the victims’ responsibility for the personal and moral development of the perpetrators, as well as for building the community to which the perpetrators belong, has been addressed. We compare …
Religion lesson in schools in Poland – the subject of dispute and the unused potential
The aim of this article is to examine lessons on religion in Poland from the perspective of the prevailing legal, social, cultural, and organisational conditions, as well as to look at the research that has already been devoted to this topic. In the first part, the religious context specific to Poland, based on level of declared religious identity which leads to a clear domination of Catholics over representatives of other religions and denominat…
Human Health and Christianity in the Context of the Dilemma of Forgiveness
This article argues that Christianity has the potential to strengthen people’s health when solving the forgiveness dilemma. However—paradoxically—the starting point for the analysis is the presumption that a hasty and imprudent decision to forgive may negatively impact the health of the decision-maker, and that Christianity may contribute to people making unconsidered decisions by prompting them to forgive. In the first part of the analysis, the …
Christian religious education and the development of moral virtues
This article explores the implications for Christian religious education of the theory of moral virtues formulated by Thomas Aquinas and developed by the contemporary Neo-Thomists. The analysis is divided into two parts. The first part introduces Thomistic virtue theory and presents cardinal virtues crucial for Thomistic ethics: prudence, justice, temperance and fortitude, as the reference points for moral education. This part also includes analy…
Education for Self-Forgiveness as a Part of Education for Forgiveness
The analyses undertaken in this article refer to the harm experienced in close relationships, where the lack of forgiveness and the breakdown in the relationship can be a source of additional suffering for the victim. Referring to the discussion conducted in the Journal of Philosophy of Education in the years 2002–2003, I assume that one of the most difficult challenges for the injured individual is to determine whether change made by the perpetr…
Education for Loneliness as a Consequence of Moral Decision-Making
The direct reference point for these analyses is the process of making moral decisions, but a particular point of interest is the difficulty associated with making decisions when acting subjects are aware that their choice of moral good can lead to the breakdown of relationships with those close to them (family members or friends) or to their exclusion from the group(s) that have been most important to them so far in their lives, consequently cau…
Education for forgiveness in the context of developing prudence
The purpose of my paper is to determine the consequences of including an education for forgiveness in the context of developing prudence. I aim to answer two questions: what is prudent forgiveness; what constitutes education for prudent forgiveness? I present my analyses in six parts. After introduction, I point to the advantages and doubts concerning forgiveness. Then, I present prudence as a basic virtue guiding human actions. I draw mainly on …
