The Process of Ethical-Political Uprooting

The aim of this paper is to discuss the current psychosocial phenomenon described by Simone Weil, Eclea Bosi, Gilberto Safra and Frochtengarten as ethical-political uprooting. The authors, references in this field, sought to describe and analyze this contemporary phenomenon, alerting us to the consequences for both the subject and education. We have tried to develop reflections with the aim of pointing out how persistent this problem is and how it must be understood as intrinsically related to the cultural conditions of our time.
