This article analyses the philosophy of M. F. Sciacca. This author
exposes a whole conceptions of being. lt has three essential forms:
reality, ideality, and morality. The human being shares in these three
way of being in every human act. Therefore a whole and human education
means to get ready everyone to face to reality (in this material
world), to ideality (looking for the truth about thinks, persons,
events), to morality (recognizing the truth and living according it;
developing the person with objectivity). After that authority,
discipline, sciences, human relations, selfcontrol, culture, work are
considered as means for helping a person to become educated. The
weakness in the conception of being and the decline in looking for
truth (as wide as «esse») are symbols of a philosophy closed in the
material world that reduces the possibilities of the human being and
the humanistic education. W. R. Darós
Key words: Humanistic Education, Self Education, Philosophy, Michele F. Sciacca.
