El presente ensayo representa un análisis crítico y reflexivo de los sistemas educativos antropocéntricos y la propuesta de una educación biocéntrica cuyo centro es la vida y en donde los seres humanos establecen interacciones significativas y horizontales con sus pares y con la naturaleza. El contexto actual con sistemas educativos condicionados por las economías y enmarques sociopolíticos de la economía neoliberal y en donde se prioriza la competitividad, limita el pensamiento crítico y el diálogo.

Proponemos una inteligencia afectiva y una percepciÃ...

This exploratory study presents the results of the conception and content of Human Greatness, a topic we have been exploring from both a conceptual and theoretical perspective. This exploratory research is part of two studies conducted with the samepopulation, comprised of teachers, mothers, artists, and other personnel linked to the educational field, to gain clear evidence of what values for human greatness mean to these groups in Lima, Peru.
