Paideia a transcendentná orientácia

The aim of the paper is to introduce transcendent major as a basic part of the upbringing of a man. Greek thinking about men reaches its top in persuasion that upbringing strive is based in getting as close to Gods as possible. If the man loses his transcendent major, he also loses something from his humanity. Christianity brings very important optimism into the area of upbringing as God is Love and in Jesus Christ man gets another chance. Upbringing understood as “imitatio Christi” contains implicitly this transcendent major.
