The contribution of phenomenology to the philosophy of education is discussed here in relation to the ontology of the person and his/her essential characters: subjectivity, individuality and intersubjectvity. Nevertheless, from an educational viewpoint, each person is a being-in-becoming: therefore, these constitutive qualities of human existence cannot be conceived as the initial requirements of the formation process, but rather as many development goals, never completely fulfilled nor granted once and forever. Education (and self-education as its most proper aim) represents the attempt to let them arise and strengthen progressively: impersonality and de-personalizing tendencies (subjection, homologation, individualism) are in fact always present within history and society, and must be prevented and contrasted.

Abstract
The contribution of phenomenology to the philosophy of education is discussed here in relation to the ontology of the person and his/her essential characters: subjectivity, individuality and intersubjectvity. Nevertheless, from an educational viewpoint, each person is a being-in-becoming: therefore, these constitutive qualities of human existence cannot be conceived as the initial requirements of the formation process, but rather as many development goals, never completely fulfilled nor granted once and forever. Education (and self-education as its most proper aim) represents the attempt to let them arise and strengthen progressively: impersonality and de-personalizing tendencies (subjection, homologation, individualism) are in fact always present within history and society, and must be prevented and contrasted.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
