| description | The XX century, in the Western countries, offered a
profusion of conceptions,
frequently similar in the tension they generate, but almost never exempt from strong
ideological premises, and most of all inconclusive and discordant in their practical
applications. The beginning of the new Millennium, almost as a
reaction, has
developed an utopia of a
new, so called, postmodern humanism. These conceptions
are not anti
religious, but rather post
secular. They
represent a
considerable challenge
to the Christian Churches’ educational tradition, that in turn are convinced to possess
(as a
monopoly?) the universality of the symbolic goods. It is a
challenge on the
ground of values and ultimate goals (problem of the ethical and religious pluralism,
freedom of religion and belief, new paradigm of the relationship science-faith), but
also a
challenge on the field of educational procedures and institutional frameworks
(conflict between public and private, relevance of the media pervasiveness, primacy
of the instrumental knowhow over the humanistic one, the cultural generational gap,
etc...). Among the conditions to confront this educational challenge in a
correct
manner, the article strongly suggests, in order to handle the new complexity of the
reality, to adopt a
strategy of graduality, to reinstate at
the centre of one’s thought and
life the formation of an ethic of responsibility. |
