Abstract
If Rome was for centuries the centre of power and influence
for Christendom and the European world of learning
associated with it, Brussels can claim to be such a twofold
centre in the late twentieth century. The radical pluralism and
postmodernist orientations which are now part of the
Enlightenment legacy becloud the point that a new uniformity
of belief and outlook - mercenary rather than spiritual -
furnishes the context for most educational policy-making in
European countries. Far from calling for a return to a
patriarchal past, the paper attempts to sketch an
understanding of education as a universally defensible
practice, while addressing the challenges of both
postmodernism and the new uniformity.
