Spunti per una teleologia pedagogica generativa

The work starts from a historical excursus on the metaphysical concepts of good until it reaches the subjectivist and objectivist positions characterizing contemporary philosophy. The problem of the relationship between pluralism and values relativism is examined in an attempt to found possible pedagogical responses to the current value crisis. The thought of R. Resta is presented, whose theoretical teaching supports the teleological and axiological nature of the educational process by claiming the autonomous disciplinary status of pedagogy, by re-uniting the theory-practice unity and bringing back to the educational and educational moment synthesis. This dynamic essence characterizes the achievement of objective values, that humankind is called to acquire independently and to grow in an original and innovative way. In this sense, the reference to pedagogical teleology as a prospective connection to an authentic education of contemporary man can generate responses to the most profound and concrete needs that look beyond their own historicity – temporality and articulated in three major directions: self-education and research of its fullness, tension to the other and co-responsibility and cultural dialogue.
