Los fines de la educación

Synopsis of Los fines de la educación

This book by Juan Delval, a professor of Evolutionary Psychology and Education, examines the confessed and unconfessed purposes of education. It is argued that it is necessary to clarify these functions in order to make significant changes in educational systems. The author analyzes how education has historically served to socialize the young generation and promote submission, and proposes that education has a potentially liberating value that should be explored. This edition offers a deep reflection on the challenges and possible reforms in the field of education.
