RESEARCH PROBLEMS AND METHODS: The research problem is to realize the possibilities of managing your life, to experience responsible agency in your activities in various spheres of human life. The research methods used constitutean analysis isolating the concepts and categories relevant for our purpose (comparative analysis) and reading their sense and meaning in the context of the adopted research issues (content analysis) using elements of the method phenomenological insight and elements of philosophical hermeneutics.
THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The paths indicated by selected authors are opportunities for finding yourself and thus your place in the world in a sense of agency and self-determination. They constitute certain processes and mechanisms that can and should inspire to educational activities in the spirit of humanities.
RESEARCH RESULTS: They can be included in five key categories necessary to achieve the indicated goal, which are: narrative of yourself and your activities (reflection, self-reflection, internal conversation, dialogue and narrative imagination); asking yourself questions about the sense of being in the world in a sense of authenticity; understanding of yourself and the surrounding reality; responsibility for your own thinking, speaking, understanding and acting; commitment to personal and social development, taking a position (a conscious way of being in the world).
CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS: They are read inspirations such as waking up, moving, shaking to change, to be better yourself, to develop in the process of education. It is actions (praxis) that create self-awareness and identity by defining a place in the world, which is why education should be the art of a responsible and satisfying life.
