Combatir el maniqueísmo por medio de la educación

Abstract

This article is the result of the lecture given in V FORO ABS, by the professor Fernando Gil Villa based on manichaeism and the understanding of postmodernity approaching the areas of Education, Sociology and Anthropology, a triad that generates important researches developed at the University of Salamanca. Since the anti-modern and post-modern movements are critical of progress, while opening up to disrespect of citizens’ rights, we see that this context is exacerbated by the insertion of manichaeism into politics. The objective of the present research is to understand the contribution that Education can make from the orientation of educators to think with skepticism and to make their practices based on a historical-critical perspective for the transformation of individuals and society.
