Abstract
Dear readers,
in this double issue of the e-journal PAIDEIA magazine we bring selected texts from the Conference Arbitrariness in Education, Art and Sport which takes place annually within the meetings at selected issues of education and upbringing. The conference always tries to create the ground for an interdisciplinary dialogue about a chosen phenomenon. With regards to this character, the choice of the articles reflects the variety of approaches, both specialised and generally theoretical.
