Conservative pedagogical thought of Count Stanisław Tarnowski

Abstract

Stanisław Tarnowski is a well-known nineteenth-century politician, expert in literary history, university lecturer, and rector of the Jagiellonian University. Analyses of his legacy have been conducted mainly in political science and Polish studies. The pedagogical aspects of his work, on the other hand, have so far received little attention, although reflections on the education of young people can be found in some of his publications. Therefore, in an attempt to study the pedagogical perspective adopted by S. Tarnowski, the aim of this article was to reconstruct the pedagogical thought contained in his academic, oratorical and journalistic output. Attention was drawn to the conservative character of these views, resulting from the ideological approach he presented.
