L’émancipation au risque de la bienveillance

Abstract

This article explores, in the fields of education and research in the sciences of education, the relation between the notion of benevolence and another notion which could seem antagonistic to it, emancipation. After presenting the field of research in the sciences of education and that of the educational approach, the text reveals the relations between the two terms. The discussion makes it possible to examine the conditions (in particular ethical) of a rapprochement or a cohabitation between them and the interests of a dissociation or even a distancing.
