Kazimierz Dąbrowski’s Theory of Positive Disintegration Perspective AB - Contemporary problems of the cultural disintegration of Europe result from serious disruption of the condition of individual national cultures. They are in serious danger as a result of a social response to the sense of non-subjectivity of communities, which unfortunately will follow the two development-laden directions: on the other hand, these are very diverse forms of nationalism, on the other cosmopolitism, which means abandoning the interest of the national culture of communities. It is not directed against any other culture or community, it does not imply a sense of superiority and the right of domination. This national culture is reflected in the Polish tradition of humanistic social pedagogy, which shows significant analogies with other types of humanistic studies of culture, in their orientations that do not reduce the subjectivity and dignity of the human person in the content and actions of such kind of studies. An important inspiration for the analysis of such a national culture may be the Kazimierz Dabrowski’s Theory of Pisitive Disintegration. The theory still has not obtained a sufficient and fully developed application in the area of ​​social sciences, including social pedagogy. This text attempts to be an indication of the creative possibilities of this type of analysis.
