The danger of abuse of visual forms of presentation of material and the need for verbal forms that promote the development of abstract thinking is stated. Some innovative educational techniques that have been successfully tested in the course of teaching courses in philosophy, culture studies, philosophy of science and technology are presented. It is emphasized that the law of natural artificiality of man, which was formulated by H. Plessner, is also valid in the field of Humanities education.
