Creativity for democracy

Abstract

The article underlines how the possibility for creativity to regain a central position in educa-tional theory is bound to the rejection of every bendings of the term towards new ideological strumentalizations concerned about an econo-mical recovery and, above all, is bound to the assumption of the term within longlife educa-tion as a competence of the personal being aiming at his self-fulfilment. Education to crea-tivity, meant as education to freedom, suppor-ted by a sense of responsibility soaked thought, should work for a revisitation of the present forms of democracy, whereas today freedom is often carried out as a process of disanchoration from the rules peculiar to socie-ty.
