Abstract The following article presents and analyzes the problem of "being" of the child in the world of multiplicity and diversity. The authors of the study consider the issue of the search, of man in general, and in particular of teachers, for the way to adapt to the multiplicity, which is the domain of postmodernity. Attention has been also paid to the problem of thinking about a human subjectivity, which in the context of the new education is the basis of relationality on the ground of the education of tomorrow. Furthermore, the author pointed to the heterogeneity of the teacher-student relationship, and the idea of self-responsibility that is important in the process of planning and implementing such a relationship. The article also discusses the problem of a teacher’s responsibility for students' access to the symbolic culture, and thus the responsibility for shaping in them skills and competences to "be" in the world of multiplicity. Moreover, reference has been also made to the concepts of, among others, Wolfgang Welsch and Charles Taylor, as well as considerations of Tomasz Szkudlarek and Hans Jonas.
