The article deals with the pedagogy for adults by Janusz Korczak and Vasyl Sukhomlynskyi. The author has defined the following objectives: to conduct the analysis of scientific and pedagogical literature which highlights different aspects of the problem under research, and present the results of comparative analysis of the concepts of family education of Janusz Korczak and Vasyl Sukhomlynskyi, as well as outcomes of their common provisions and individual features of each of them. The issue of forming the personality which arises from the pedagogical conception of Janusz Korczak is examined in the article in accordance with the conception of good by Vasyl Oleksandrovych Sukhomlynskyi. On the basis of the comparative analysis of the main principles of the pedagogues’ creative heritage the conclusion is drawn that good is taken as the basis of both conceptions concerning education of personality. In the article the principles of an individual trajectory of forming the personality are singled out and the conditions which the educators should reasonably follow in the broad understanding of the word for its realisation in everyday life are specified.
