Come funziona Google Moduli? video tutorial in italiano Distopie Didattiche Per Marx l'essenza dell'uomo è la libertà che si esprime nel "lavoro creativo" con cui egli interagisce con gli altri e l'ambiente modificandoli all'interno di una comunità "utopica" fondata sulla massima evangelica: "Ognuno secondo le sue capacità, a ognuno secondo i suoi bisogni", regola che delinea anche un ideale di comunità educativa basata sull'interazione collaborativa.
