A look at the work of Alexandre Galí

Abstract

The article outlines some of the central insights in Alexandre Galí’s pedagogical thought and aims to address the current educational trends in Catalonia and generally speaking in the western world. On the basis of the philosophical framework of the author’s thought, we revisit some questions both elemental and fundamental, as what is education? This requires to reflect upon what makes us human, what it means to educate in a practical sense or what is the role of education in our world and what intellectual and moral capacities an educator should develop.
