humanistyczna

Humanistyczna is the feminine singular form of the Polish adjective humanistyczny, meaning “humanistic” or “related to humanism.” It describes attributes, disciplines, or approaches associated with humanism as a philosophical and cultural tradition, with the humanities as a field of study, or with a human-centered outlook in education, psychology, ethics, and the arts.

In Polish, humanistyczna agrees with feminine nouns, for example: szkoła humanistyczna (humanistic school), edukacja humanistyczna (humanistic education), pedagogia humanistyczna (humanistic pedagogy), psychologia humanistyczna (humanistic psychology). The corresponding plural neuter form is humanistyczne, used with plural or neuter nouns, as in nauki humanistyczne (the humanities).

Origin and usage: The term derives from humanizm, itself from Latin humanus meaning human. The concept of humanism originated in the Renaissance and influenced Polish culture, philosophy, and education. In contemporary Polish usage, humanistyczna describes movements, programs, or traditions that emphasize human values, critical thinking, and the study of human cultures and expressions.
