To say today that the education is passing a crisis period is something completely trivial. More than that, as any triviality, this one is not raising any worried reactions either. We are identifying two causes of this state of things in the education: first of it, the demolishing critics of the postmodernism, which were accusing the illuminist paradigm for the authoritarism and all the bad things happened during the twentieth century. On the second hand, the development of the internet and the birth of the virtual environment placed the school in an inadequacy state with the skills gained by the children by playing computer games, using social media, visiting specialized sites, etc.; more than that, the virtual environment is seen today as a space of liberty, of choices without consequences, while the school is set-up for disconnection, being assimilated with duties and constraints. In this situation, a new paradigm for education is badly wanted. Such an education would be hostile to theory, and rather accepting the empirical rules and didactical "bricolage".
Interested by the world of ideas, the author believes that education is a paradoxical process which attempts to obtain mind independence by subjecting it to the thinking of others.Raised in the shade of books, the author ended up by being concerned about the existence of the ones living at the confluence of two worlds - reality and virtual space.
