The fi ght against the moral evil of war aft er 1945. Historical approach to the concept of post-war moralrevival of prof. Helena Radlińska

<ns3:p>AbstractThe article was created on the basis of exploration conducted in accordance with the methodology of historical socio-pedagogical research. The initiator and promoter of this research was Helena Radlinska - the creator of Polish social pedagogy. Post-war experiences of moral crisis, to which prof. Helena Radlinska drew attention in the years 1946-1947, can today activate and inspire pedagogical communities, especially socio-pedagogical ones. Every war implies negative consequences in the economic and energy spheres. These processes are the subject of numerous analyses, debates and activities in the international arena. Much less attention is paid to the social effects of war. In this context, the selected subject of the moral evil of war appears to be an important and consistently relevant issue. It is therefore worth analysis, research, and discourse leading to corrective actions based on intentional influence in the sphere of moral education (moral upbringing). The aim of the article is to present the concept of counteracting the moral consequences of war as presented by Helena Radlińska. It may also be an encouragement for further scientific research aimed at searching for theoretical and methodical foundations for the practice of activities included in the field of upbringing, educational, caring, assistance and cultural activities, as well as promoting the culture of truth, goodness, and beauty in everyday social life of the 21st century.</ns3:p>
