Education in crisis

Abstract

Education reforms of UNESCO failed. Constructivist pedagogies did not generate better learning to avoid breaking the contradiction of subject and object, and did not exceed the limitations of the positivist behaviorism. To meet the challenge of epistemological change without falling into constructivism’s “nothing changes”, it is necessary to overcome the constraints of civilization anthropocentric: only by renouncing anthropocentrism the individual may be able to feel human as well as tree, star, river or firefly, and will learn from them what they have to say to him. To hear and feel them, he will open much more than his senses and mind, he will awaken the finite and infinite powers who sleep on his genes since the originary integral human being was domesticated by the educational and communicative rationality of the non-unity system.
