Arousing good emotions in formal education: Analysis according to the ethics of Max Scheler.

Abstract

Emotional education is an issue that is being discussed by different professionals who are linked to the pedagogical field. Thus, through this essay, it is intended to contribute to that pedagogical discussion, which analyzes the consequences of the ethics proposed by Max Scheler, in the good emotional development. From this analysis, the role of love in the appropriation of positive values is exposed. Therefore, the act of love would be what arouses the appropriate emotional content. Equally, it would be the source that drives to transform society, as Johann Pestalozzi and Paulo Freire point out. Finally, it is concluded that the adequate emotional content is independent of the pleasure or pain it produces.
