Abstract

More than ever, we are witnessing an anthropological crisis, an emptying of man of his humanity, despite the rights and obligations he has established for himself in order to avoid a universal existential failure. For these reasons, we intend to capture in this study the moral state of modern man and to identify new possibilities for the recovery of this rational being, bent on irrational gestures, this work of sensibility disposed towards inhuman attitudes; the man, this mythical creature, prone to self-destruction.

The surest way to return to normality is to return to the moral values of Christian Europe, which was founded on the pedagogical ideas of illustrious men; a universal human treasure to be managed by educators with a vocation, capable of offering a real cure to reinvigorate the human spirit in its quest for fulfilment as a human being, because neglecting the education of youth has long-lasting effects, as the great educator Comenius said: “youth grows without proper care, like wild trees, which no one plants, waters, grafts or makes grow straight”.
