All of the points of view recognizing the need and the role of authority in education can be reduced to two positions: the traditional and the alternative one. Traditional Authority (“dear master”) transmits knowledge and values and is a reference point for students who trust him and want to emulate. Alternative Authority (“master of the road”) does not transmit knowledge but rather shows its ambiguity, destroying ambient certainties. The concept of authority as „the master of the road“ can be compared to lenses focusing the trains of thought in shaping not only the concept itself, but also the modern understanding of truth and good. One of these trains is a philosophical deconstruction strategy. Its purpose is to show the ambiguity of truth, which is a feature of postmodern times. The result is a deconstruction of current understanding of authority. Deconstruction can be regarded as a manifestation of a so-called ”weak thought” that results in „poor“ upbringing and education. They are a manifestation of bad students’ behavior who show lack of respect for truth, someone else‘s property or life and health of others. These values are not taught by the „road master“. The main task of the authority of postmodern times is actually to show a pluralistic world of difference, not to share the knowledge, values and standards of behavior. Being under the impact of the „road master“ therefore does not have a positive influence on the integral development of children and youth.
