Abstract

The text is a developed and supplemented record of many hours of conversation between Prof. Irena Wojnar, the oldest employee of the Faculty of Education at the University of Warsaw, and Dr. Adam Fijałkowski, the current editor-in-chief of “The Pedagogical Quarterly”. The authors focus on trying to characterize and evaluate the academic achievements of Prof. Czesław Kupisiewicz (1924–2015). On the basis of her own memories, Prof. Wojnar discusses the pedagogical views and organizational assumptions of Prof. Kupisiewicz – including his assumptions of pedagogy of culture and the humanistic education, the role of international cooperation, his role in publishing a series of books and journals.
