It has been proved in the article that Mikołaj Rej’s views concerning the upbringing of children and youth are based on ancient philosophy, primarily on Stoicism. Mikołaj Rej’s Good Man is a counterpart of a Stoic wise man, whose life goal is to achieve emotionlessness and virtue. All the methods and ideas of upbringing described by Rej are subject to this very goal, which leads to the formation of a virtuous and rational man.
