Today’s multidimensional global crisis is fundamentally a crisis of humanity characterized by the failure of human’s relationship with nature, with themselves and with others. In this way, our main challenges today can be synthesized in the solution of environmental crisis, the responsible freedom to build meaningful personal lives and democratic societies, as well as the deep reform of the world system to build conditions of justice and fraternity. The answer to these challenges requires the formation of future generations in a planetary citizenship, critical and co-responsible for the future of humanity, which is today an ethical imperative. This work seeks to provide theoretical elements to conceptualize this education. The starting point is the notion of Cosmopolis, raised by Lonergan not as utopia or ideal system, but as a dynamism of direct, critical, and ethical intelligence to build communities committed to transforming the world. Based on the perspectives of Morin and Nussbaum, the complex lessons and strategic capabilities needed to make this construction operational are proposed. Finally, the two fundamental vectors of a humanizing story according to Lonergan are presented as guiding axes: The creative and the curative.

Keywords : cosmopolis; complex lessons; capabilities; planetary citizenship; education.
