En este texto se propone un análisis filosófico de siete antinomias que subyacen al diseño curricular. Se busca explicar, a menudo con ejemplos de la enseñanza en Argentina, que estas siete antinomias son parte de la tensión general que hay entre las necesidades de la comunidad y las aspiraciones personales, es decir, de la tensión entre el bien común y la libertad individual. El análisis filosófico de este trabajo también intenta mostrar que las tensiones del currículo no entrañan un conflicto irreconciliable de intereses o valores, sino que, por el contrario, dichas tensiones generan una "dialéctica virtuosa". En efecto, los fenómenos o ideales en tensión ayudan a encontrar puntos de equilibrio parar afrontar lo que el autor Rudolf Carnap consideraba uno de los desafíos más urgentes de las sociedades libres y democráticas: reconciliar la libertad individual con una organización eficiente del Estado y la economía. ; This text suggests a philosophical analysis of seven paradoxes underlying curricular design. It seeks to explain-often using examples from teaching in Argentina-that these seven paradoxes form part of the overall tension between the needs of the community and personal aspirations, in other words between the common good and individual freedom. The philosophical analysis of this study also attempts to prove that curricular tensions do not imply an irreconcilable conflict of interests and values, but, on the contrary, create a "virtuous dialectic." Indeed, the phenomena or ideals in tension help identify points of equilibrium in order to cope with what Rudolf Carnap considered one of the most pressing needs of free and democratic societies: to reconcile individual freedom with an efficient organization of the state and the economy. ; Fil: Gil, Jose Maria.

In this paper, we test to what extent Food Quality Schemes (FQS, including Geographical Indications and organic products) contribute to the social and economic sustainability of farmers and regions through employment and education. Through employment, FQS may counter the urban migration trend affecting rural regions, and help retain economic and social capital in the local region. Indeed, as FQS are often small and specialised sectors, the economic inefficiency of such businesses may translated into greater employment and social sustainability. Separately, by requiring a higher-level of quality and hence skills, FQS may encourage greater local educational attainment or skilled immigration. To test these propositions, we analyse the employment and educational outcomes of 25 FQS. Our results show that the FQS products examined have a 13% higher labour usage (labour-to-production ratio) compared to reference products, indicating that they provide greater employment. Additionally, wage levels are 32% higher in FQS compared to references. Despite providing greater employment and higher wages, profitability of FQS (i.e. how much turnover/profit is generated per employee) is nevertheless 32% higher for FQS compared to reference products, due to the ability to attract higher product prices. Finally, there is no clear link between FQS and greater (or lower) education attainment in the supply chain. Overall, our results suggest that FQS can provide a strong contribution to local employment, employee income and business profits, strengthening the social and economic sustainability of producers and regions. ; This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 678024. ; publishedVersion
