For an ethics of feeling: A new epistemology of the history of education originating from the history of emotions
Chiara Meta
The contribution aims to address the theme of the body-mind relation both from a historical-theoretical and educational point of view. Within the studies of the field, but also in the framework of a new historiographical horizon relative to the history of emotions, attention has emerged to the role played by the category of feeling in a history of education that seeks to recover a unitary dimension between mind and body, intellect and passions. In this perspective there may be many repercussions within historical-educational approaches that want to be grounded on the assumption of corporeity as a place, not exclusively symbolic, for the development of new identity and educational pathways that move from the historical perspective to the present.
