Cesare Luporini. Per una pedagogia critica

The volume gathers ten texts written by Cesare Luporini (1909–1993)—a central figure in twentieth-century Italian philosophy and a Senator of the Republic active in the Communist Party—interpreted through a pedagogical lens. Luporini’s Marxism, internationally recognized, stands out for its rejection of any economistic or mechanistic reduction of social reality and represents a model of philosophy capable of uniting moral rigor with political commitment. His philosophy, including its educational implications, cannot be understood without acknowledging that, for him, thought develops in its authentic form only when it confronts the moral and historical conditions that circumscribe and dramatize it. This is a critical reflection capable of translating itself into collective praxis, also within the field of the human and social sciences—and particularly pedagogy—with the aim of transforming the world.
