Oceano. La forza vitale e la tensione educativa/formativa

The article starts from the reflection given in Simone Regazzoni's recent volume, Ocean. Phi- losophy of the Planet , and explores the idea of thought not only as a contemplative departure from experience, but also as a way of accompany- ing and living experience. "Earth thinking" is in opposition to "oceanic thinking," a dualism em- bedded in human nature that has always been faced in the philosophical tradition. Pedagogy, having humans as its "objects" of study, is driven to recognize the complexity and originality of every experience and to reflect on the transformative aspects of existence. More than the other scienc- es, it is configured as "oceanic living," precisely be- cause of its nature as a deep act of immersion in the flow of educational/formative transformations.
