Per una pedagogia del dono

Abstract

The act of giving, in a pedagogical point of view, interlaces often with the act of giving himself and with the free and responsable will of encountering the other by his humanity. The main characteristic of giving is the gratuitousness: the human being can be educated aim for freedom and generosity about being able to give and give himself without fee. He who instead receives the gift had to be grateful: the gratification takes shape as an essential element in the educational life of the subject.
