Abstract

The reforms in the educational system, in addition to the pragmatic goals, also depend on how the subject of education is understood. A wrong concept of man behind the social engineering can make the project collapse. It is no coincidence that the classic educational projects arose on the basis of certain philosophical anthropology. The article discusses one of the projects proposed by the great German philosopher J. G. Fichte. It is concluded that modern education reforms, while being implemented, have to take into account the “human factor” and proceed from a certain understanding of human being that should not be shallow.
