Abstract
[This chapter explores the significant ways Korczak’s life and legacy can contribute toward the realization of what we view as the worthiest aim and task of education today: the humanization of the world. Korczak’s tireless efforts and steadfastness throughout his life to increase good and diminish evil in the world is an inspiring example that offers hope for possible victories—even if only partial—of good over evil; of beauty over ugliness; of the gentle, the decent, and the just over the harsh, the rigid, the brutal, and the malicious. To a very impressive, indeed awe-inspiring extent, Korczak’s humanist moral pedagogy achieved this goal through his development and implementation of educational frameworks and processes that encouraged the growth of free, reflective, and critical human persons who sincerely care about the world and work to improve it.]
