De Rousseau a la era digital,áEducar para pensaráes una invitación urgente a formar ciudadanos críticos y libres en tiempos de incertidumbre y polarización. Educar para pensar revisa algunas de las mas valiosas construcciones teorico-educativas que se han dado a lo largo de la historia moderna y contemporanea. Unas son mas proclives al modelo educativo liberal: Kant, Constant, Mill, Dewey, Russell, Berlin, Garzon Valdes, Gutmann. Otras son mas cercanas a planteamientos propios del prerromanticismo o del mismo romanticismo, moderadamente conservadores, criticos, republicanos, humanistas o pluriculturalistas: Rousseau, Schiller, Tocqueville, Durkheim, Ortega, Arendt, Villoro, Nussbaum.Desde una concepcion liberal de la educacion, igualitaria, democratica y deliberativa, Rodolfo Vazquez hace suya la celebre locucion del poeta Horacio, Sapere aude, para argumentar en favor de un pensar autonomo, ajeno a un solipsismo egoista y comprometido con un ejercicio intersubjetivo y cooperativo, con especial atencion a la educacion en la era digital.
