Philosophy & Practice of Human Education

This issue of Critical Hermeneutics has invited scholars to analyze and consider different educational models – old and new models, focused on practical-operational skills and/or critical knowledge and capabilities, and/or the person as a whole etc. – in reference to the innovations, changes, critical issues and new challenges that society and education present today. Attention was devoted to new educational philosophies, perspectives and models that aim to bring the education of the child and young person back to the center in a holistic and humanistic sense. The contributions collected here come from different pedagogical and philosophical areas and are arranged according to a simple alphabetical criterion both to highlight the fertile and promising variety of perspectives and to emphasise the importance, today more than ever, of maintaining a close dialogue and discussion between philosophy and education (beyond the fences of disciplinary differentiation).
