TOWARD WEAK THEORIES, I.E. FINIS MODERNAE IN HERMENEUTICAL PARADIGM OF HUMANISTIC PEDAGOGY (Ku teoriom slabym czyli finis modernae w paradygmacie hermeneutycznym pedagogiki humanistycznej)

his article refers to a philosophical idea of 'weak thought', grounded by a postmodern Italian philosopher - Gianni Vattimo, which can be seen as a hermeneutical interpretation of cultural facts, including educational ones. The abovementioned idea reveals the relationships of ethics and hermeneutics, in which the ethics of open continuation is privileged. It also underlines the possibility of weakening the colonizing power of the 'strong' (modern and scientific) discourse in the pedagogy. Toward the truth (the truth devoid of the metaphysics) one can reach also through the unscientific path, which stands against the scientism and leads though the area of interpretation.
