Searching for God: The Relational Dimension of Janusz Korczak’s Religiosity

Abstract

For Janusz Korczak, the relational dimension of spirituality was fundamental. He first sought God invarious areas of his life and then applied this personal experience to his everyday life, especially in his relationships with his pupils. He perceived religion as a fundamental element of human spiritual life, believing that every human being has a desire to seek and discover religiosity. This includes, above all, an openness to the sacred and the freedom to experience it in a personally meaningful way. Janusz Korczak’s writing, especially the works in which he struggles with life and searches for its meaning, can be seen as an invitation for readers to reflect on their own lives and search for what gives them value. For Korczak, this ultimate value was God, whom he understood to be Love.
