Abstract

This paper aims to meditate on the difficulty of making successful changes and reforms in the field of education. To do this, we will follow a line of research established by Merleau-Ponty’s concept of “institution”. We will argue that the philosophical horizon establish by this concept can be applied to the understanding of how can – and should – be faced the need for change that Education always demands.
