    (Editorial Universidad Pedagógica Nacional, 2024-06-01) Vallejo Merino, Isabel Cristina
    This reflective article, derived from research, alludes to Kantian theory to problematize those elements that could lead to the repetition of exclusionary practices such as those that occurred in Auschwitz. In this way, it present Kant’s ideas that could help prevent such genocides are presented, addressed through three criticismsBased on Michel Onfray’s book Eichmann’s Dream. First, the criticism of the philosopher for promoting the idea of “blind obedience” and his rejection of the right to rebellion is discussed. In response, it is argued that while ethical mandate involves adherence to laws, these are inspired by a republican form of government, not totalitarianism. Thus, Kant’s education should be oriented towards cultivating reason and criticism. Second, it is shown that dignity in a Kantian sense is not inalienable and has justified exclusionary practices resulting in exterminations. In response, it is argued that such dignity is not tied to social class and can be enhanced through education. Finally, the criticism of Kant’s “detached from reality” Idea is addressed. As an escape valve, the importance of education about the good, the beautiful, and the true is proposed. It is concluded that Kant remains relevant for pedagogically reflecting on contemporary issues, such as the potential repetition of Auschwitz.
