Rola zajęć z zakresu filozofii w rodzinnych zadaniach dziadków na przykładzie słuchaczy Uniwersytetu Trzeciego Wieku

Abstract

Grandparents play important roles in the functioning of the Polish family. Some of these tasks are related to their lifetime. They seek for coherence, deeper sense and order in their life, affecting the family. These aspects relate to the so-called sense of coherence (SOC) in life that can be measured by quantitative methods. The philosophy should also have an increase on the SOC level due to its specific tasks. Including philosophy lectures in the study program of the Third Age University (UTW) will increase the SOC level and, in the same way, will make it easier for grandparents to perform family tasks.
