Abstract

The article retrieves Martin Buber’s philosophy of dialogue and studies its impact on the perspective of care education in the 21st century. We explain the fact that care education recognises in the I-You (Thou) relationship the origin of the ethical impulse to be projected to the world, and that it must be taught to men and women indistinctly. As a result, we analyse the role played by reciprocity in the relationships between an I and a You, and how generous responsibility for a You is the road towards personal maturity.

Key words: Care education, philosophy of dialogue, reciprocity, self-sufficiency.
