Phenomenological social research inspiration for Polish religious education

Abstract

The text is devoted to the social phenomenology, or the possibility of using methods of phenomenological analysis ‒ mainly those applied by Edmund Husserl, Alfred Schütz and Józef Tischner ‒ in social research. This is a presentation of the research which, thanks to the phenomenological methodology, leads, on the one hand, to holistic analyzes, and on the other, to inclusive and comparative studies. This perspective is interesting and extremely cognitively important for the religious education, which has not yet been thoroughly researched on the Polish soil, however it seems, in the context of such the dynamic changes, to be necessary and irreversible today.
