L’apprendimento è qualcosa di estetico e di emotivo. Lo dice Marco Dallari nel suo ultimo libro (e in questa intervista)
Italian pedagogist Marco Dallari discusses his latest book, "La bellezza di Sophia" (2026), which explores the intrinsic human drive for knowledge as an aesthetic and emotional necessity rather than a pragmatic survival tool. Drawing on Freudian concepts and the work of Alessandra Risso, Dallari argues that the desire to learn is a primal impulse that should be nurtured through beauty and curiosity rather than stifled by rigid institutional structures.
Dallari critiques the modern educational system for transforming learning into a military-like obligation focused on evaluation and future employment. He posits that art is the highest form of knowledge, essential to human evolution and the construction of reality. By advocating for a return to creative, Montessori-inspired methods, Dallari emphasizes that art and culture are not 'useless' luxuries but fundamental resources for improving the quality of human life.
