Merit is universally welcomed and promoted as a contrast to the privileges of belonging that the school is called to correct in order to prepare for a better world. Advanced societies, now largely dominated by technology that closely interacts with the economy, do not give due recognition to merit. Meritocracy, which would be responsible for enhancing skills by promoting equal opportunities, often ends up by reaffirming privileges, in a kind of heterogenesis of ends. An answer to these criticisms can only come from an ethics based on the value of the person that is combined with an idea of merit also comprehensive of moral values.

Abstract
Merit is universally welcomed and promoted as a contrast to the privileges of belonging that the school is called to correct in order to prepare for a better world. Advanced societies, now largely dominated by technology that closely interacts with the economy, do not give due recognition to merit. Meritocracy, which would be responsible for enhancing skills by promoting equal opportunities, often ends up by reaffirming privileges, in a kind of heterogenesis of ends. An answer to these criticisms can only come from an ethics based on the value of the person that is combined with an idea of merit also comprehensive of moral values.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
