Abstract
In the upbringing of blind children it is important to know the factors which condition their moral development, particularly the specificity of the situation of the loss of sight, so that one may influence the moral profile of a blind child by manipulating these factors. The article shows that in this development as important role is played by such factors as: (1) the very fact of a loss of a possibility of receiving visual information; (2) features of the disability, i.e. time, degree and way in which the sight was lost: (3) disorders of the central nervous system and, in particular, intellectual defects, changes in higher emotions on organic basis, deficiencies in strength, mobility and equilibrium of nervous processes; (4) the attitude of the normal clear-sighted people, in particular of the children of the same age as the blind child; (5) atmosphere in the family and the attitudes of the parents, as well as the type of educational methods applied most frequently, e.g. punishment and explanations; (6) institutional education of blind children; (7) forms of child's own activities/- such as games, self-educational tendencies in the youth period. It has been strongly emphasized that the factor which creates greatest difficulties in the moral development of the blind child is not the very lack of sight and resulting cognitive limitations, but the social consequences of blindness, especially the wrong attitudes of the parents of the blind child. Apart from the factors creating difficulties in the socio-moral development of the blind child, in blindness there are also useful factors for the shaping of its moral-philosophical reflection, deepening of inner life, training virtues of character and strong will (advantageous in view of the requirements of social life), and of a mature moral attitude, including the acceptance of blindness and a positive, relation to the world of normal people.
