Abstract
For the author of this paper “teaching” and “educating” have different meanings. Teaching is limited to the learning of knowledge and competences or skills, while educating has an ethical content. All educational action is crossed by ethics. The morality of a conduct does not depend on a universal “natural” law, obligatory for all, but on the culture of the community in which this conduct takes place. Moral “jusnaturalism” does not solve the problem of its own meaning or content. On the other hand, the author stresses the relevance of circumstance as educational content. There is no education without circumstance or context, just as there is no human being outside a circumstance that defines and conditions him. The author emphasizes the singularity of the educational action generated by the singularity of the circumstance that conditions it. The teacher’s testimony is claimed as an indispensable resource for the teaching of ethical values. In this way, the experience of the value becomes the obligatory path for its learning.
