The Responsibility in speaking of Care

Abstract

In an effort to outline the profile of an Educational program conducive to an integral and inclusive ethical approach, a possible problematicistic interpretation (à la Bertin) is here proposed through the examination and reflection on the deepest meaning of words and the use of terms such as responsibility and care that may be easily misinterpreted or misunderstood and must be disambiguated. This article addresses, within the hypothesis of an ‘ethical learning community’, the need for a responsible educational proposal that – hinged on the construction of new itineraries of knowledge – allows the development of meaningful interpersonal relationships (with others, things and nature) supported by an ethic of care, responsibility and reason.
