Summary/Abstract: Man experiences their existence constantly experiencingtension that emerges between that which is and that whichcould be, between the actual, known, and the unknownthat barely shines in the horizon. In this uncomfortableexperience, one can find potential for development, hiddenbehind a facade of pretence and camouflage, which,when disclosed and uncovered can be the “fuel” of satisfactorychange. As a result, education can be in service ofman once again. This process, as a fundamental experience,will assume the acceptance of truth about the humancondition and the circumstances of its emergence in thecourse of life. Education not abandoning man must rediscoverand re-evaluate such categories as fate, uncertainty,fragility, unforeseeability.
