Opis

Towards a Pedagogy of Bliss is a critical essay that interweaves neuroscience, pedagogy, materialist philosophy and artificial intelligence to dismantle one of the great contemporary educational myths: that learning can flourish regardless of social inequality. The book argues that there is no quality education without material justice, and that poverty, hunger, violence and precariousness not only affect school trajectories, but also shape the very biology of the brain. From a critical perspective of neuroeducation, the text denounces pedagogical charlatanism, false innovation and the ideological misuse of AI as an educational simulation. Throughout three chapters, it analyzes the school as a space of reproduction of inequality, of disciplining and symbolic dispossession, but also as a possible territory of resistance. Faced with the pedagogy of fear, obedience and boredom, the book proposes a pedagogy of affection, dignity and community, understanding the human bond as a neurobiological and political condition of learning.
