Abstract
The chapter focuses on the work of the Czech philosopher Tomáš Trnka (1888-1961). Individuality was a significant philosophical concern for Trnka, emerging as a consequence of his quest for a quality philosophy of education and pedagogy.
Trnka underscored the interconnection between the individual and the whole, acknowledging various contexts where an individual engages. Individual development, according to him, consisted in discovering an individual's position within the broader whole.
The chapter illustrates Trnka's reasoning through an examination of his texts.
