CHAPTER

Reconnecting Values and Education

This chapter examines the historical separation of facts and values in education, arguing for the urgent need to acknowledge the role of values in learning. It critiques modern educational ideologies influenced by philosophers like Descartes that prioritize materialism over humanistic values, ultimately leading to a crisis in understanding meaning and purpose. The discussion emphasizes a transformative vision for academic institutions, particularly Catholic universities, to integrate ecological and social concerns into their pedagogy, advocating for a return to the core teachings of Jesus regarding societal values.
