Educazione e leadership nelle scuole oggi : una prospettiva cosmopolitica

2017 - Franco Angeli

71-85 p.

  • In this paper, I propose to sketch the aims of the school in light of a cosmopolitan philosophy of education. The first section that follows provides a summary account of what I take cosmopolitanism to mean. The second section frames a philosophy of education that stems from this account. The third and penultimate section sketches a conception of the school and its moral and ethical aims in light of this philosophy of education. The discussion will foreground normative ideals. Such ideals can be problematic, if not dangerous, if they blind people to concrete realities. They can be disappointing if failure to attain them weighs down hard on people. But if ideals are understood as sources of direction, rather than as destinations, they can assist educators to sustain their course in the face of obstacles. My core purpose here is to highlight why a cosmopolitan orientation can inspire, encourage, and help guide educators in creating good schools for our globalizing era. [Publishers' text].
