Alexandre Galí i Coll (1886-1969) is a key figure in Catalan pedagogical thought, a pioneer in the work on indicators and a reference point in the currents of pedagogical innovation in our country. In this article we set out to establish the relationship in his thinking between pedagogy and philosophy. In two different places in his work, the author defends two theories: 1/ Without technique there is no pedagogy; and 2/ Without philosophy there is no pedagogy. But what exactly does this second statement mean? The present study aims to answer this question. We aim to how, for Galí, the mission of pedagogy – in a sense that we must clarify – is to “save humankind” and, for that reason, for him (like Hannah Arendt) there can be no pedagogy without a philosophical clarification of the human condition.
