The Education and Training Ecosystem between the Need for Democracy and the Development of Capabilities

Abstract

A way to rethink the educational and training ecosystem stems from the problem of questioning, today, on the meaning and practice of education in a situation defined as emergency that forces us to review the statutes of the educational phenomenon itself, beyond the narrow confines of methodological-didactic and organisational issues, up to the anthropological foundations. In the educative-formative perspective, that we want to outline here, we want to highlight the development of capabilities and the incidence that this development can have on the formative process, on democratisation and on the possibilities of an enlargement of human rationality, beyond any reductivism, both rationalistic and materialistic-economicistic.
