Abstract

Education as a way of promoting human dignity – is the theme that embodies this reflection and points to the need to adopt a more open education, combined with the union of synergies for a broad educational alliance aimed at training mature people, capable of overcoming fragmentations and oppositions and reconstruct the fabric of intersubjective relationships. The metamorphoses of the present time are responsible for the throwaway culture, which even relegates to history what is essential in man, that is, his dignity. This article aims to reflect on the promotion of human dignity through education, since the first and last purpose of education is to guarantee that dignity is materialized in the community and carried out in institutions. Dignity is a philosophical value, founding the subjectivity that gives meaning to the diversity of people who inevitably tend towards the universal values of democracy and social justice. Human dignity recognizes the eminent position of the human being in relation to other species, as a being endowed with reason and feelings; it is an attribute that does not depend on personal or social merit, as it is inherent to life and, therefore, is a pre-state right. Through education, it is understood that it is possible to prepare an adult society, a humanized society capable of placing the human person at the center of attention. The desired education and training must be read in the sense of a polycentric training system represented by a formal training system, a non-formal training system and an informal training system. Ultimately, education as a way of promoting human dignity, must educate not only in content and skills, but in values such as peace, equity, respect, democracy, solidarity, dialogue, sustainability. To guarantee this elaboration, the method of bibliographic review was used, as well as the phenomenological one in order to confront the existential situation of man.
