Abstract

Zuzana Svobodová in her paper entitled "Logos and Agapé: Prerequisites of Education" draws attention to the interdependence of these two dynamic bases of the educational process, without which there cannot be development of the quality of life - this is true both for individuals and the society as a whole. Logos and Agapé belong together, as is revealed by Christian philosophy and theology in an abundant manner.

Even Aristotle's concept of the community is based on harmony as a key task of raising and educating its citizens. Apart from dealing with education as something which is not self-evident, something that stems from logos and agapé (none of which is self-evident either), the paper discusses three conditions of educational action.
