Journal Vol 7 No 10 The language of education

Abstract

In this publication we give continuity to the series of articles through which reflections are proposed in relation to the processes currently taking place within education and pedagogy, in particular to give the latter the place it deserves in its evolution as career or as a discipline.
The title of issue 7/10 of our Bulletin Redipe Magazine corresponds to the Editorial article prepared by José Manuel Touriñán, creator of the mesoaxiological perspective. It is a radical, sensible position that exposes, a propositive critical reflection that is absent or ignored in educational and pedagogical circles and communities. Wittgenstein already exhorted to be silent, particularly in philosophical matters, when language found obstacles in its dynamics of enlightenment: what one does not know is better not to speak. And with Lipman it is clear that the arguments must be reliable, based on compelling reasons. Thus, the euphemism and the lack of respect for language and education have ended up comfortably and warmly tucking into educational and pedagogical speech.
