For a new pedagogical humanism. Between existential void and aspiration to fullness

Abstract

This work is an excursus about the nodal questions of pedagogical theoresis
concerning the idea of humanism and of the human being, considering
theories that have strongly contributed to the discussion on these themes,
specifically the existential analysis of V.E. Frankl and its pedagogical applications.
Moreover, there are hints from various researchers on the idea of
freedom related to happiness, with particular reference to issues related to
the formation of moral personality. The work ends with a proposal-provocation
that deals about the problematic joints of contemporary education
with a reference to its meaning and its foundation.
