MORAL EDUCATION BETWEEN IDEAL AND POPULISM
Abstract
The article presents the possible impact of populism on the two basic dimensions of education: moral education and religious education. The current society is characterized by a decline in moral and religious values on the personality formation of the trainee and on the metaphysical- religious conception of the world and man. This phenomenon causes a vulnerability of the educational system and the Church to the aggressiveness of the manifestations of the populist phenomenon, a phenomenon on the rise in Eastern Europe. A certain inertia specific to both educational and religious systems, combined with some traditional and anti-Reformation attitudes, can be a fertile land for asserting a populist corrosive speech with long-term adverse effects in their formative objectives.
