Popis: Students’ fear about and reluctance toward mathematics have been a great concern to mathematics educators for many decades. The problem is such well known that one may hardly believe there is anything left to say. Sometimes, however, to see some new aspects of the object that seems to be well known, it is good to consider it from another angle. Thus, in this paper some data obtained from a questionnaire administered a few years ago to 149 Polish students from different school levels are discussed from the theoretical perspective that has not been considered in the original study. For the current analysis I use the dimensional ontology laws (Frankl, The will to meaning: foundations and applications of logotherapy. Penguin, London, 2014) and the transgressive concept of man (Kozielecki, Koncepcja transgresyjna czlowieka. PWN, Warszawa, 1987).
