- Abstract
- The numerous connections between education and humanism – even though evident at least at social and academic, cultural, social and political levels – are yet usually overlook by the various theories of education. Taking the opposite view, this contribution aims to demonstrate that the crisis of the modern education’s model is deeply linked to a crisis of what we traditionally called “humanism”. Rather than trying to abolish or overcome it for a post-humanism ideal, I propose to understand this moment of crisis as an opportunity to redefine humanism, for the sake of education in the third Millennium. Focusing on Hegel’s philosophical contribution to western “humanism”, the critical look at its features will lead me to draw the conditions of possibilities of a new form of humanism based on the reconciliation of theory and empiry, rationality and spirituality, cultural particularities and universalism, autonomy and relational freedom.
