The question “Where is Education” has a direct answer in this book: where people’s common internal activity is and where the structural elements of intervention are. Everyone does common internal activity: we (think, feel affectively, want, choose-do (operate; choose what we do and how we act and behave), decide-act (project) and create –not from nothing, but we create- (build by symbolising). All this activities and actions are used in some cases and under some specific conditions to educate, because any type of influence is not education, but any influence can be transformed into an educative one. The pedagogical challenge is to transform information into knowledge and this into education. Pedagogy comes up this way, as the author says, mesoaxiological.
