Description
Summary:The concept of intentional consciousness, taken by Piero Bertolini from Husserlian phenomenology, is central to his pedagogical perspective. It expresses the substantive way of our being-in-the-world, and affects the quality of the relationship we establish with it. This contribution begins with a reference to chapters II and III of L'esistere pedagogico, aiming to examine this concept; it then describes its application also to the field of re-education. This is because: a) from 1958 to 1968, the phenomenological approach allowed Bertolini to tackle the difficult reality of maladjustment and juvenile delinquency in "new" terms; b) today, Piero Bertolini's interpretations of "that" reality and consequently his practical proposals still constitute the most commonly adopted pedagogical reference; c) the commitment to re-education, which in chronological terms concerned the first part of his professional life, allowed Bertolini, right from the outset, to characterise his pedagogy as the outcome of a continuous interaction between theory and practice.
