PANDEMIE E CONTRATTO SOCIALE. NOTE PEDAGOGICHE SULLA FORMA DEI LEGAMI NEL NOSTRO TEMPO

Several are the crises generated by the pandemic. In each of these crises (health, economic, social, educational...), there are many “breaks” in the “taken for granted” that lead to ask radical questions about human life.In this horizon and according to the approach of phenomenological-hermeneutic fundamental pedagogy, the paper aims at highlighting one of the hypotheses which, starting from modernity, has been very influential: the social contract. In particular, the paper focuses on same consequences that derive from having intended the social contract as model not only of political life but also,of any possible intersubjective bond. Therefore, the paper inquiries on what the ontological structure of intersubjective relations is and what it may be as well as on the consequent tasks that today, also “thanks” to the pandemic, are opening up for pedagogy and education
