The article is devoted to the person of Adam Wrzosek, twentieth-century physician, who besides being a doctor was also a philosopher. He has created a lot of biographies of outstanding colleagues, doctors, philosophers, which he appreciated and considered as important for the world of science. Wrzosek completed many faculties, including the University of Berlin, Kiev University and the Sorbonne. He also gained his education in Paris and Zurich.

Home education reform activities indicate their conformity with analogous reform initiatives within the European Union. But, if the reform rhetoric is limited to curricular contents update, the reform is doomed to fail in producing desired educational effects, since a syllabus is only a part of a curriculum as a structurally more complex mechanism. The article provides a systematic analysis and qualitative evaluation of the relevant curricular documents from both countries - from the perspective of coherence and ideological integrity of their components.
