As the synopsis reads, this book seeks to answer a series of “permanent and inevitable” questions in each person’s life. It is a compilation of the “contributions of authors moved by a philosophical-pedagogical concern under the unique spatial-temporal coordinates that we have had to live, in which the education of the classical character emerges with renewed strength and an adapted configuration that has drawn the attention of authors in many parts of the world.”

In the chapter she has published, Mònica Argemí, understanding liberal education as “one that enables students to ask themselves existential questions”, is a review of the scientific literature on liberal education and its relationship with character education from 2010 to 2020. Her conclusions include the extension of this educational model beyond the Anglo-Saxon sphere and its suitability in the university context.

According to Argemí, this type of education, in a holistic way, contributes not only to the promotion of the student’s intellectual virtues, but in itself, constitutes life education: “The work world is asking for people who know how to ethically solve everyday issues.”

The book, published by Dykinson publish company, is coordinated by Concepción Naval, professor of Philosophy of Education and dean of the Faculty of Education and Psychology at the University of Navarra; Juan Luis Fuentes, vice dean of International Relations, Faculty of Education at the Complutense University of Madrid; and Luz Dayanna, lecturer, Faculty of Education and Psychology at the University of Navarra.
