The paper highlightS within the present historical-cultural contingency/conjuncture the demand for an “exercise of thinking" understood, not so much as a query for meaning that is rooted and evident, but as a sort of right to awareness, a critical empowerment to elaborate and mediate reality as political actors. In the present complexity the possibility of accessing, sharing and processing information/knowledge, is producing asymmetries more and more evident, raising issues of inclusion, communication and understanding.

Rendere fertile il pensiero. Il saggio afferma l’esigenza di esercitare un pensiero inteso come consapevolezza culturale e come sviluppo della capacità di progettare la realtà e di attuarvi delle mediazioni in qualità di attori politici, specie nelle circostanze dell’attuale contingenza storica. A partire da alcune considerazioni del filosofo francese François Jullien, il contributo esplorerà i modi in cui è possibile ripensare alle interazioni sociali mediante i concetti di écart e di entre. Inoltre, ricorrendo all’analisi di esempi teoretici e pratici pertinenti al dialogo interculturale, si mostrerà come questi, se applicati alle strutture educative in senso lato, possono incoraggiare lo sviluppo della responsabilità e delle capacità critiche necessarie ad affrontare le sfide sociali poste in essere nel panorama contemporaneo.

Abstract
The paper highlightS within the present historical-cultural contingency/conjuncture the demand for an “exercise of thinking" understood, not so much as a query for meaning that is rooted and evident, but as a sort of right to awareness, a critical empowerment to elaborate and mediate reality as political actors. In the present complexity the possibility of accessing, sharing and processing information/knowledge, is producing asymmetries more and more evident, raising issues of inclusion, communication and understanding. The issues involved will be explored also in the light of the philosophy of the French thinker François Jullien, especially taking his concepts of “écart” and “entre” into account. Focus will be on the theoretical and practical instances introduced by intercultural dialogue applied to a critical educational setting that promotes visions of competence and responsibility to meet the new social challenges and scenarios.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
