| Abstract | |
In this dissertation, reflecting upon the education of contemporary Man is an objective made feasible by Michel Serres's philosophy. Through his thinking, more specifically in the book Hominescence, we sought to understand the elements and circumstances that single out our time and that could consequently be bringing forth a new Humanity. Even though this research is at first glance marked by anthropological reflections, the dissertation aims primarily at laying the propositions that allow of thinking of the education of contemporary Man. The first step forward in this investigation consisted in reflecting on Man and on the dimensions that engender them according to the tradition of philosophical anthropology. Subsequently, elements from this tradition are incorporated so as to think of the philosophical anthropology propounded by Serres. Therefore, under the ambiance of the philosophical concepts, the dissertation goes on to detail the circumstances, unique to the 20th century, that reshaped the three dimensions which engender Man: the body, the world and the other. Hence, reflecting on the contingency of those three events for the constitution of Man, this dissertation sought to raise, as a last step, the implications of this new era, for educational thought.
