Education in the Anthropocene Age: Toward a Responsibility-Based Educational Model

Volume 13|Issue 53| Summer 2025 |Articles

Abstract

This study investigates the problem of education in light of the threat posed by the Anthropocene due to the dominance of technological civilization over all aspects of life. To this end, we draw on Jonas's conception of the ethics of responsibility to highlight the features of a new pedagogical approach that transcends the limits of the democratic model of education and responds to the conditions of contemporary human life, which is under the yoke of technological threat. However, humanity today adopts multiple and diverse educational models (traditional, modern, etc.) which are inseparable from the societal project that frames them. However, educational models gain value only from their practical applications, results, and responses to the societal and existential problems facing human beings. Therefore, critique of the democratic education model stems from its inability to meet the challenge of technology.
