Abstract

It is about connecting, as a starting point, with the experience of the coronavirus from the idea of active nihilism in Nietzsche to search with it or despite it, a way out. To later find the search for meaning based on the experience of intimate resistance that Josep Esquirol talks about, aware of the importance of self-care linked to the care of others and of a political resistance that warns us of the dangers of power dominant and the weaknesses to which we subjects are subjected in times of pandemic threat. Then it comes to thinking about education as resistance, as a place of renewal of the world and of hope.
