The Guardian of the Promise. Pedagogical Insights into the Relationship between Nature, Man and Economy in Galvano Della Volpe's Thought.

Abstract

The contribution aims to analyze the relationship between Nature, Man and Economy in Galvano Della Volpe's thought from a critical-historical perspective, focusing in particular on the studies on Marx and Rousseau, the discourse on inequality and its relevance today, the Marxian total man and communist freedom, for a theory of a positive humanism.

The essay will try to show that in the relationship between pedagogy and economy, pedagogy needs to be aware of its function as the guardian of human progress and collective economic development against the sacralization of property and the institutionalization of inequality, lest it condemn itself to a secondary and ancillary role.
