Abstract

Polazeći od očekivanja da obrazovanje u 21. st. pomogne u osvještavanju pitanja vezanih uz stvaranje demokratičnijeg, tolerantnijeg i odgovornijeg svijeta, filozofski propitivati temeljne pojmove vezane uz ljudska prava i slobode, univerzalizaciju prava, univerzalne vrijednosti, suvremeni kontekst jednakopravnosti, humanosti i odgovornosti , potaknuti odgovor na pitanje: što odgoj i društvo mogu činiti s obzirom na ideju čovjeka kao slobodnog i dostojanstvenog bića, te s obzirom na koncept vezivanja razvoja pojedinca s razvojem demokratičnijeg društva.Starting from the expectation that in the 21st century education would help people in becoming aware of the issues regarding the development of a more democratic, more tolerant and more responsible world, the author philosophically questions the fundamental concepts connected with human rights and freedoms, the globalisation of rights, universal values, today's context of equality, the humanity and responsibility , and attempts to answer the following question: what can education and society do in respect of the idea of man as a free and dignified being, and in respect of the concept of connection between the development of individuals and the development of a more democratic society?
