In the article I diagnose cultural pathologies in management education in Poland using the critical tools proposed by the „Critical Management Education”. The main aim of my reflection is to denaturalize an assumption, that management education should be located on economic paradigm with a domination of instrumental rationality. Reflection is based on my own theoretical research, in which I use such Lech Witkowski’s ideas as ethics of reading, symbolic authority and moral development triad. I also use the empirical research about Polish managers and management education.
