Reflexión política y educativa desde el pensamiento posmoderno de Zygmunt Bauman, para América Latina

Abstract

The present investigation is an approximation to the postmodern philosophical approaches, which Zygmunt Bauman proposes as a response to the philosophical postulates and categories advanced by modernity, which laid the cultural foundations for the interpretation, reading and understanding of the diverse social and cultural facts in the coming epoch, such as the social, political, economic and educational aspects. Philosophy of modernity perceived human being thought and within the society, under fixed lasting schemes, since this was erected under the parameters of the security, the social, cultural and economic well-being and waiting for the educational social promises made in the evolution of modernity, which would be taken to its practice from Europe to the American continent. In order to develop this philosophical research, I have proposed three fundamental chapters: II. Modernity and Postmodernity, where an approach is made to the social and philosophical postulates that each epoch exposed; II. Education and Postmodernity, this chapter describes the impacts of education under the new trends that have emerged in postmodernity. And in the IV. Politics and Postmodernity, it is mentioned how a new social order is being established, due to the new emerging powers ideologically affecting the individual and the society of Latin America.
