Slavophilic conception of education and the present

Abstract

This article is about the Slavophilic
conception of education which was
drawn up in the first half of the19th century,
but it had much in common with modern
tendencies in humanization of education.
The true Slavophiles didnt speak about national
or religious superiority, but they considered
an educational process of progressing
from Western rationalism to national traditions
and faith. In their opinion the functions
of the state were to ensure the normal
functioning of educational institutions, but
also the general public and the family had to
take part at this process. Pedagogic potential
of the doctrines of Ivan Kireevsky, Aleksey
Khomyakov and other Slavophiles can be realized
nowadays at school. The Slavophiles
ideas can be a wonderful basis to organize the
work of bringing-up children at different educational
institutions.
