This article of reflection proposes the need to defend an education whose central interest is human life and natural in all its forms. It presents the evolution of humanistic ideals from the beginning of Western culture through the classical world to the contemporary world. Starting from this path, the dual possibility, creative and destructive of human power, is analyzed, on the one hand, to configure the physical world for its own life; on the other hand, the place of the ideals of humanism in education and the need to cultivate, through it, critical thinking. It is concluded that contemporary humanism must be on the side of the world's plural visions that protect life from becoming with others in spaces where each one can act and think freely, activating mechanisms that inhibit the barbarism that nestles in each individual.

Keywords : autonomy; respect; tolerance; untampered; humanisms.
