What has been explored and emphasized in the pedagogical research of Jerzy Nikitorowicz is the experience of being rooted in the heritage of tradition and the experience of the “borderland man”. Having elaborated theoretically mature and practically useful intercultural pedagogy as well as the concept of “intercultural identity”, Nikitorowicz affirms the attitude of the “borderland man”, who is open to the diversity of cultures, religions and languages. This takes place along with the awareness of conflict raising tensions, which cannot be avoided in the borderland dynamics. Moreover, the “between” situation, typical of the experiencing of values by the borderland man and of shaping “intercultural identity” requires specific “praise of inconsistency”. In the borderland situation, something can be “at the same time”, “simultaneously” and “in parallel”: at the same time what it is (which has a particular shape of identity) and something else - something on the borderline of the one and the other (or the third and still the next) selfhood. Being familiarized with the complexity of borderlands, to a certain extent, one is prepared to face the views that are different than one’s own. Those different views, especially the ones concerning values, appear as not obvious and expressing a different (hard to understand and accept) standpoint. Therefore, what appears as not obvious should be reliably confronted with one’s own obviousness, undertaking the risk that it will become questionable and will lose the features of obviousness. One ought to conduct intellectual struggle against the insufficiency of cognitive abilities not to be affected by cognitive disorientation, not to acquire learned helplessness and not to yield to uncertainty. Borderlands are not “far away” in distant land ends - their presence and features, e.g. dynamic systems of values, comply with various spheres of human existence, as a factor that helps to understand the fundamental “human matters’. According to Nikitorowicz, the identity creating values of the borderland enhance the forming of subjectivity and self-effectiveness of “an individual who develops and self-manages on the basis of traditions and cultural heritage”. At the same time, carrying the memory of the complexity of borderland experiences, Nikitorowicz as a “borderland man” indicates such duality: “On the one hand, [the borderland] brings about the feeling of social and cultural (family, religious, [...], ethnic) identity, but on the other hand it causes threat, loss of the feeling of safety, the fear of the intolerance of the dominating group” (Nikitorowicz, 1995, p. 19). From the standpoint of intercultural education, Nikitorowicz puts forward a postulate of reading anew the Polish traditions of cultural borderlands in the context of the current cultural and social challenges. Aiming at the elaboration of some more general theoretical approaches to the Other, borderlands and intercultural relations - such approaches that will complement intercultural pedagogy - Nikitorowicz suggests the revitalization of heterology, as a science and knowledge concerning the Other, and points to its necessity in the complex nature of cultural diversification.

Wypracowując koncepcję pedagogiki międzykulturowej i koncepcję „międzykulturowej tożsamości”, Jerzy Nikitorowicz rozpatruje doświadczenie zakorzenienia w tradycji i postawę „człowieka pogranicza” (otwartego na odmienności kulturowe). Towarzyszy temu świadomość napięć właściwych dynamice pogranicza. W sytuacji pogranicza coś może być „zarazem” tym, czym jest (co ma określony kształt tożsamości) i „zarazem” czymś innym, czymś z pogranicza jednego i drugiego (lub też trzeciego, kolejnego) jestestwa. Obeznanie w złożoności pogranicza w jakiejś mierze przygotowuje na zetknięcie się z zapatrywaniami innymi niż własne, które jawią się jako nieoczywiste (a trzeba z nimi konfrontować własne oczywistości, ryzykując, iż to one staną się problematyczne). Pogranicza nie są „gdzieś daleko”, „na kresach”, ale ich obecność i ich cechy, m.in. dynamiczne układy wartości, wpisują się w różne obszary człowieczej egzystencji, kształtując rozumienie podstawowych „spraw ludzkich”. Zmierzając do dojrzałych teoretycznie ujęć problematyki Innego, pogranicza i relacji międzykulturowych, Nikitorowicz postuluje rewitalizację heterologii (nauki i wiedzy o Innym).
