Applied Po-ethics? An axiological novelty in the last edition of the textbook by B. Chrząstowska and S. Wysłouch

Abstract

The subject of the text is an attempt to show professor B. Chrząstowska’s many years of active participation in the discussion on the language of school humanities and thus the role of the Mistress from Poznań in creating the humanistic reality of Polish hours. It is achieved by showing the evolution of the shape of Applied Poetics by S. Wysłouch and B. Chrząstowska in the context of the literary text - poetics - ethics - world of values - student relationship. A chronological perspective was adopted in the review of subsequent versions of the textbook. Based on the preface and analyzing the author's corrections declared there, which are reflected in the substantive content and composition, expressed in the table of contents, thought-composition dominants were distinguished, organizing the content of individual versions of the book, which to this day is a fundamental position in the libraries of Polish language teachers, being at the same time a trace of changes taking place in thinking about the ways of reading literature in school and their strict dependence on the dominant literary methodologies.
