Abstract - Review of the thematic monograph New Paradigmatic Pedagogy by Wojciech J. Cynarski, Wojciech Blazejewski, Wojciech Pasterniak

Background. According to the reviewer everything related to pedagogy has probably already been said so it could seem that each new anthropological paradigm used, especially when it comes to the philosophical concept of the human being, will only be a literary repetition of some naturalistic or anti-naturalistic concepts. New Paradigmatic Pedagogy is most likely personalistic, as is indicated by the respect and honours given to the ideological granters, the founders of the unitarian philosophy of man.
Method. This is an analytical review of the thematic monograph by Wojciech J. Cynarski, Wojciech Blazejewski and Wojciech Pasterniak entitled New Paradigmatic Pedagogy.
Problem and Aim. The author of the review stresses the boldness of strong ontological assumptions of the monograpah’s authors and their view on personalistic pedagogy, embedded in its anthropological core which is based on quite new theoretical grounds.
Results. According to the reviewer most texts in the monograph are of key importance for understanding the philosophical concept of man, and undoubtedly require such study. He finds especially important for this anthropological thought in education thoughts on the physical and mathematical sources of human cognition. He has no doubt that the process of the enrichment of the humanities by quantum physics which has been sensationally initiated by the authors will be stretched with equal success to incorporate the sciences of physical culture and sport science.
