Utopía sensata de la posmodernidad educativa de la Torre Gamboa, Miguel Moral education philosophy of education values teaching. Educación moral filosofía de la educación enseñanza de valores. The article states that Mexico is currently undergoing a profound social crisis which sprang from the fact that public affairs are managed not taking into account the people's interests. That makes us think about the possibility of a more democratic society. To suggest an alternative to antidemocratic practice implies an effort to design an educational project, a sensible utopia, which is viable because it is not a hopeless criticism, but it gathers those elements from reality aiming to social transformation. A democratic society would be one which keeps a true symmetry among individual's interaction, and whose starting point is the universal principle of mutual respect and personal autonomy. Educators should work towards that sort of society through the image of the democratic citizen. El artículo plantea que México vive, en nuestros días, una profunda crisis social que nace del hecho de que no es el interés general el que se hace valer en la conducción de los asuntos públicos, y que nos hace pensar en una sociedad más democrática. Plantear una alternativa a las prácticas antidemocráticas supone hacer el esfuerzo por configurar un proyecto educativo, una utopía sensata, viable, en la medida en no se presenta como crítica frontal y desesperanzada, sino que recoge aquellos elementos de la realidad que apuntan precisamente a la transformación social. Una sociedad democrática sería aquella que observara una simetría real en las interacciones entre los individuos, aquella que parte del principio de la universalidad del respeto mutuo y de la autonomía de las personas. Para esta sociedad, deben trabajar los educadores a través de la figura del ciudadano democrático.
