The education of humanity is the key to the 21st century's culture, its social and practical life. The main concerns of education are perennial, but the continuous flood of inventions, the technological innovations that reshape life, calls for a radically new appraisal of the situation, such as only philosophy can provide. Answering the call of humanity for the measure, sense of proportion and direction that could re-orient present and future education, the phenomenology of life - integral and scientific, in a dialogue with the arts, the sciences, and the humanities - proposes an ontopoietic model of life's unfolding as the universal paradigm for this re-orientation. Taking the Human Creative Condition as its Archimedean point, it offers a context for a fresh investigation of the concerns of education, both perennial and immediate.
