Abstract The humanistic paradigm of free education as a form of manifestation of universal moral values is a historical and cultural phenomenon in the philosophy of education and at the same time a contradictory phenomenon of education at the moment. The theory of free education being objectively considered a historical and cultural component of the basic humanistic tradition of education is in close connection with the problems handled by the pedagogy of freedom. In teaching there is still no clear attitude to free education, to its pros and cons. That's why we can observe a permanent debate in the modern formulation of this aspect. Moreover, the concept of "free education" has no exact definition. The article generalizes key points and discloses "pro and contra" of free education.
