Abstract

This paper presents a new form of envisaging education. The rational being is considered as the focus of educational process in a universe which they exist, know, act upon, and transform with their actions. The reality to be understood is conceived as a universe of energy permanently becoming, assuming the basic postulate of Quantum Physics present in Alfred North Whitehead’s Philosophy of Organism. This postulate is expanded upon the paradigm of neuroscience, assuming that the brain is the material locus where the aim or concept that guides action originates, now seen as self-creation of the individual and their environment. Creativity also is linked up with individual and social epigenetics guided by aware knowing. We postulate a critical, active education, attentive to dynamism that science and technology bring to society.
