La educación, un rompecabezas aborda algunas causas del malestar que crece en ese ámbito que incluye familia y escuela. Padres y educadores se plantean preguntas sobre los límites de la función docente, sobre la posibilidad de ejercicio de la autoridad o sobre la significación de las explosiones de violencia que sacuden, de tanto en tanto, a la opinión pública. El vértigo está al acecho sobre el telón de fondo del cambio tecnológico acelerado y del declive del patriarcado. Se promueven entonces soluciones cientificistas o técnicas, cuando no netamente policiales, que en lugar de reducir el malestar lo potencian. Las situaciones planteadas en el libro muestran, por el contrario, que el conflicto es condición intrínseca de la humanidad y que no hay posibilidad de reducirlo si se desconoce este hecho.

The underlying theme of Three Centuries of Greek Culture under the Roman Empire is the idea that, under Roman rule, Greek culture was still alive and dynamic and continued to exert a degree of cultural domination, either real or apparent. So, we hope to analyse the meanings of concepts such as OGreek" or OGreece" in the Empire. Are we right to assume that there was a clear opposition between Greek and Roman? Or would it be more accurate to speak of a OGraeco-Roman world"? It would certainly be possible to make a list of Oelements of identity", on both sides Greek and Roman, but, in this case, where should the borders between identity and community be placed? Three Centuries of Greek Culture under the Roman Empire presents several approaches to the period between the second and fourth centuries AD from a variety of angles, perspectives and disciplines. Until now, this time has usually been considered to be the junction of the decline between the classical world and the emergence of the medieval world; however, this book establishes a basis for considering the Imperial period as a specific stage in cultural, historical and social development with a distinct personality of its own.
