The Pedagogy of alterity as paradigm of education for peace

Abstract

This article represents a detailed theoretical justification of the peace as value from the levinasian ethics and offers an educational proposal for the construction of peace from the pedagogy of alterity. The experience of the last decades reveals the inconsistency between the speech of the peace and the search of the conditions necessary to reach her. Peace is not only the absence of conflicts and wars. It is the just and equitable construction of the living conditions for all. The essential contents for educating in peace are presented: integration of the different one in cultural terms; the justice and the solidarity and care of our common home. Offers a proposal to educate for peace: to educate the pupils in the responsibility way to others and environment; integration of the personal context in the educational process; and the need to promote establish the negative pedagogy as denunciation and criticism of the situations injustices that happen.
