Serena Billitteri, Beauty in educational paths. Why Education looks at the work of art

This paper is aimed at showing different forms the beauty can take in educational communication. The scenario that comes up, through a concurrent study of some important philosophical elaborations of Hannah Arendt, reveals a twist of urgencies and needs of youth that artworks and aesthetic fruition could satisfy. Tradition and culture, if thought as places where memories and meanings are handed down, are considered valuable goods for a kind of education that concentrates on a full social citizenship and a real exchange between generations.
