Le molteplici prospettive interpretative della società odierna mettono da tempo in guardia su precisi segnali di debolezza manifestati dalle democrazie occidentali. Per ripensare la natura e il ruolo pedagogico della democrazia, occorre rivedere sul piano teoretico-educativo le condizioni che consentono la possibilità della convivenza comunitaria, ad esempio uscendo dalla logica individuale dell’“Io” e orientandosi verso la dimensione del “Noi”. Se infatti, come ha scritto R. Esposito, il munus che la communitas condivide è anzitutto “mancanza”, privazione, de-soggettivazione, la tematizzazione del Noi entro una prospettiva personologica permetterebbe alla pedagogia di “custodire” tale mancanza in una rinnovata idea di comunità, nel cui ambito si esplicherebbe la dialettica tra le regole sociali e la libertà individuale.

Abstract
For quite some time, the various interpretative paradigms of today’s society have warned of specific signs of weaknessshown by Western democracies. If we want to rethink the nature and the pedagogical role of democracy, then we shouldreflect from a theoretical-educational point of view on the very conditions that allow community coexistence, for in-stance by getting out of the individual logic of the “I” and moving towards a “We” dimension. In fact, as argued by R.Esposito, if the munus shared by a communitas is first and foremost an “absence”, a deprivation, a de-subjectification,the thematization of the We within a personological perspective would allow pedagogy to “preserve” this absence in arenewed idea of community, in which the dialectic between the social rules and individual freedom would be expressed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
