The question of education is as old as life itself, and its elements, which have been questioned throughout history, still occupy the minds of many pedagogues, psychologists, philosophers and sociologists today. There are many different experts dealing with education, but one name is particularly important, the name that links the notion of contemporary education and education reform – John Dewey. The aim of this paper is to present his theory and its application in the domain of the philosophy of education, (...) emphasizing the importance of education as a social function in the service of civilizational survival and progress. Social and technological advancement prompted Dewey to the idea of education reform, with focus on practical work and experimental method and with the aim of achieving a balance between knowledge and skills. A significant part of Dewey's philosophy of education is devoted precisely to education. This paper presents general reflections on education, its goals, purpose and definition, and morals as a significant educational aspect, all combining pragmatic approach, making experience and knowledge gained with practical work a priority.

Vježbanje u kršćanstvu posljednje je Kierkegaardovo veliko djelo. Nastalo je kao kompilacija više članaka, a konačno je objavljeno 1849. godine. Njime je Kierkegaard zaokružio svoje tumačenje kršćanske religije. Pitanja kojima možemo sažeti ključne teme kojima se za života bavio su sljedeća: kako postati kršćanin, koje su glavne teze kršćanske doktrine, može li se dokazati Božje postojanje , u kakvom su odnosu vjera i razum, jesu li religiozna vjerovanja racionalno utemeljena i dr. U ovom radu iznijet ćemo Kierkegaardova pojašnjenja kršćanske religije, (...) uspoređujući ih s tezama koje je izložio u ostalim djelima . U tom smislu Vježbanje u kršćanstvu poslužit će nam kao potvrda njegovih ranijih razmišljanja i stavova o kršćanskoj religiji.Practice in Christianity is the last Kierkegaard’s great work. It is made as a collection of several essays and was finally published in 1849. With this book the Danish philosopher completed his interpretation of Christianity. Questions that occupied him during his life were: how to become a Christian, which are the main theses of Christian teaching, can God’s existence be proven , what is the relation between faith and reason, are religious beliefs rationally established, and the like. In this paper we will summarize Kierkegaard’s account of Christian religion comparing it with the theses that he espoused in his other works . In this sense Practice in Christianity will serve as a confirmation of his earlier thoughts and attitudes about Christian religion. (shrink)
