Comunità

Abstract

This volume questions the community both as an increasingly emerging educational need in the post-modern societies, and as a human and universal vocation. To clarify the current oblivion of the sense of a community ethic, that especially distinguishes the new generations, educational practices and pedagogical theories are reconstructed that, throughout history, have favored a community tone. Finally, the gaze is turned to those educational challenges that today it is not possible to ignore in view of the formation of a community citizenship: individualism, materialism, virtual realities, multiculturalism. These are some tendencies that orient young people towards lonely lifestyles and that challenge pedagogy to demand a return of the community as a place for the realization of a common good.
