Leopardi’s pedagogy includes a theoretic line of scepticism and pessimism, against official pedagogical points of view. Education produces a wicked man; childhood (the happiest age of life) uses up in exhaustion of the study. Leopardi is in opposition to reason, but he exalts nature, energy and passions. Educational relationship is uncertain because teacher envies young student and bears him a kind of grudge.
