ON PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION 'IN THE ERA OF DIGITAL MEDIA' A HUMANISTIC PERSPECTIVE

Today we speak about education that would, in a, new. humanistic spirit, form cultural capacities of modern man in respect with the rising demands brought by his life in the time of digital media. It reveals that such education is confronted with the risk of, intertechnicism. and deficiency, or loss of the virtue of, understanding. in modern man and the phenomenon of, self-promoting. of today's digital media. In relation to these, modern education should promote more emphasis on development and forming of thinking, concentrating also on relevant, value and moral-based ideas or understanding.. We speak about creative and critical thinking that sets a reflective attitude of human towards his, Me., towards his experience and cognisance, today especially in the context of digital media. It is Philosophy that seems to be, in this respect, a significant educational factor that co-forms a rationally thinking,, wise. human being who is not a slave to the modern digital media and flood of information, but a self-confident, free and responsible individuality standing in a partnership with them. We also speak about the importance of Philosophy in, media education. that understands critical thinking as the key media competence and, ultimately, creative and critical usage of media with emphasis on moral aspects, especially on responsibility ethos.
