Abstract:
The basic hypothesis of this work is that one of the main victims of the recent economic crisis is the very process of learning and of knowledge. A characteristic of the present crisis is radical uncertainty, and that creates an acute contradiction. On the one hand, the markets demand that education becomes more «functional», more function-oriented. On the other hand, the same markets annul all conceptions of being functional. As a result, basic mental activities are put into question, activities such as finding a relationship between cause and effect, or moving from the part to the whole. Above all, what is disputed is the role of the teacher as a real transmitter of knowledge. Pushing the teacher aside has dire consequences which are examined in the last part of the work.
