This article examines the relationship between rationality, ethics and aesthetics in human education in the contemporary context. Starting with the development of science and technology and the debate on the process of globalization, it is possible to notice the limits and challenges of the modern process of rationalization, which became the central and unilateral focus of the whole educational process. As a result, we put forth, with views to a concept of integral education of the human being, the revaluation of ethics and aesthetics, in the broader perspective of the care of themselves. The goal is to argue in defense of a model of integral education for educational institutions at all levels. In conclusion, it argues in favor of the education of critical subjects, socially co-responsible, able to act as citizens in terms of social welfare, in a contemporary capitalist and globalized scenario, full of contradictions, uncertainties, inequalities and social injustices.

Palabras clave : Modern Rationality; Ethics; Aesthetics.
