The text deals with the problem of cultural relativism in the present-day school education. It describes two notions of culture, the classic and the relativist one as well as the classical and postmodern philosophy behind them.

It depicts the situation in school education (humanities, art education) under the massive impact of sociologically influenced notion of culture. The main aim of the text is to show that despite living in the postmodern era educators cannot completely resign from the principle of value-hierarchisation as they have responsibility for cultural tradition.

The text also emphasizes that helping children to search for distinctions between what only is and what should be is an educational task, too .
