GARCIA RESTREPO, Gladis del Socorro. Self-care ethics and human development: a challenge for Higher Education. Rev. Lasallista Investig. [online]. 2014, vol.11, n.1, pp.125-132. ISSN 1794-4449.

The university courses about human development are regarded, by some of the actors involved in the education system, as insignificant appendixes in the curricula. This paper aims to demonstrate their relevance at the moment of thinking about a more just and human society and, in the purpose to unveil its significance, Foucault's thinking could be an incentive given his reflections about self-care, as he understands it as an ethical issue because it includes the relationships with others. This matches some of the objectives those courses have and, therefore, the complementary relationship between human development and self-care will be demonstrated.

Palavras-chave : human development; self-care; ethics; curriculum.
