La Formazione Delle Élite
A Pedagogy For Democracy by Mario Caligiuri
“The crisis of democracy is one of the crucial issues in our time, engaging in controversy with those who believe in a possible renewal from the bottom. The author proposes a pedagogical reflection, presupposing a social model reconstructed upon making / forming of the elites. There is a need of ruling classes to be effectively controllable, along with a media and economic system that expresses, sustains and represents themselves. We need, therefore, people with a critical way of thinking provided by the education and for them to be able to fight the occult powers which characterize the contemporary society. The attempt of this research is the development of an education for democracy, which arises from a merit-based formation process, that would shape a political system controlled by knowledgeable and skilled citizens within a new circulation of the elite. Inspired by the Gramscian analysis, the author suggests the creation of an unprecedented social bloc composed by young graduates and by small and medium entrepreneurs, the only two categories that could transform Italian society inside a globalized world where everything is possible.”
