Abstract

In view of the prospect of economic globalization, its undemocratic nature, the increase of social injustice in the world and the priority in education to adapt students to their demands, I understand that today more than ever, we must return to the Platonic pedagogy that in its interpersonal characteristic, only wishes to encourage the induction of the idea of goodness in people waking up at the same time their critical awareness. This pedagogy could be the perfec instrument to meet today's economic and educational needs, so that society, far from being the correlative of globalization, could modulate economic parameters to achieve greater justice in the world.
