Abstract

Taking “culture” as a “way of life”, which means the customs, tradition, the system of education, the system of a family of given society, we can ask the question: which culture is better for human being and society? To answer this question we need a tool –the theory that includes somehow defined notion of humanity and its methodology possess the ability to evaluate qualitatively human and society. The Theory of Positive Disintegration is a proposition of such a tool –it is a psychological theory of personal development, but also determined by philosophical fundaments. Created by Kazimierz Dabrowski, TPD is a chance to look at the culture and society either in philosophical and in psychological way, based on empirical data. With TPD we could track the elements of our culture that block the personal development.
