Abstract
With the excuse of the two hundredth anniversary of the literaty work of Mary Shelley Frankenstein or the modern Prometheus, we deal in this work with the validity and timeliness of the anthropological morals of some of its approaches, paying special attention to its relationship with the educational field. For this, we rescued two fundamental works that will serve as a guide, such as "Pedagogy against Frankenstein" by Santos (2008) and "Frankenstein educator" by Meirieu (1998). Alienation in education, social isolation, responsibility in acts, the functions of educators, authority or respect for freedom in formation, educational inclusion, the moral limits of scientific experimentation or the fight against social homogenization through unique thinking are some topics of great interest in the social that are put on the table in this article that launches many questions, but only one answer: education.
