Education has to be based on the activity of the student,
and the student has to discover what he/she can do, rather
than giving him/her the results.
Students should have more freedom in their education.
Pedagogy should be adapted to the world around them.
Social education has to be proposed, the student should
learn more than just the theory of a subject.

overcome the limitations of both idealism (in which

realism (in which reality is located outside the
subject) in order to focus on the only truthful reality
(i.e., "my life" — the life of each individual).

you fall in love with.”
