The paper deals with the anthropological foundations of formation and some of their pedagogic implications, according to the Italian thinker, educator and scholar, Rev. Luigi Giussani. He is an author of numerous publications translated into various languages, including Polish. One of his more prominent study, one that deals with the problem of formation, is the Risk of Formation that has recently been published in Polish. It is a reflection on the essence, purpose and means of formation. In the contemporary cultural and social context it is crucial to learn the anthropological foundations of Rev. L. Giussani's pedagogic thought. This is especially justified to know the realistic approach to man who „seeks his own formula”, and that idea stems from a broadly conducted educational practice. It is also valuable that the educator and founder of the religious movement Comunione e Liberazione, sa valued today, understands formation as an initiation into the whole of reality, into the discovery and understanding of its essence and sense. In his reflection, he touches the experiences that every man can have, who - as a rational being - poses questions about himself, about the significance of life and anything that is going on. At the same time, he focuses on the clash between man and a certain cultural contexts, in a concrete place and time. It follows from the present study that this formation by relying on the anthropological assumptions teaches us how to values goods and how to call threats inherent in the person, in the mentality of the world and civilization. Speaking about the formation of a man aware of his destiny, Giussani addresses a very important problem of formation to responsibility and consequence in life. Taking into consideration human freedom, he stresses that it is necessary to make a personal decision and commitment in one's own development. The Italian thinker boldly stress the truth that is disregarded today, namely that there is a need for effort, hardship and sacrifice. He summons to live an authentic life by his faith and to testify by one's own attitude about the love of God. A detailed analysis of his conception of formation calls for a separate study.
