„Bycie podmiotem” jako wartość i wyzwanie edukacyjne w czasach technopolu

Abstract

The late rapid development of new media, technologies (including the recent advancements in artificial intelligence), and other phenomena characterizing the “technopoly culture” result in recurring questions and concerns. These questions focus on the conditio humana and strategies of “being” in an increasingly complex world. The article attempts to justify the value of human subjectivity and the ways of understanding and experiencing it. In addition to the meanings as‑signed to subjectivity, the analysis examines the functions that this value performs in the sphere of cognition, self­‑knowledge, learning, communication, and other activities. These functions can serve as effective tools in the “clash” of man with the increasingly expansive technoculture, preventing its dehumanisation and potential dictatorship. The article discusses the ways to develop student subjectivity in the education process (including Polish studies). The general conclusions and reflections formulated at the end of the article concern the title issues.
