Abstract

In the era of the Know-it-alls, we can observe a deep-rooted skepticism regarding the scientificknowledge, an attitude characterized by widespread illiteracy. Social networks, where opinionson several topics are formed, can also be the scene of strong thought’s manipulations. In thisarticle, also using both classical and twentieth century’s philosophical terms, we reflect onthe role of the school in the formation of pupils' opinions, starting from the rehabilitationof the subjective knowledge that is produced by the interaction between the pupils and thecultural objects in the classroom.
