For a pedagogy of the duty

Abstract

The author starts from some considerations about Froebel's and the New School pedagogy and tries to oppose to that orientation of rights the need of a perspective of the duty. This is the best ethical way to manifest the human fulfilment in the present and the possibility of future perfection. With the story "Natal" (Christmas), from Miguel Torga, the value of an ethic of initiative and sharing as the best way to achieve liberty is exemplified.
