This article is an attempt to analyse the axiological aspects of the works by the classics of Polish general pedagogy. Kazimierz Sośnicki and Stefan Kunowski, were the creators of works constituting the foundation of this subdiscipline in our country. Creating general pedagogy as an objectified, meta-theoretical, analytical discipline, they were somewhat obliged to a certain distance towards the matter of values and evaluation in upbringing. At the same time, each of these pedagogues was the author of an original theory of upbringing, against which one can trace their specific approach to axiological matters and the presence of the latter in upbringing reality. An analysis of the works of the selected pedagogues on the subject of values and evaluation leads to questions about contemporary problems of pedagogy and upbringing practices in this area.
