The present research analyses the pedagogical project of The School of Life, based in London and under the guidance of Swiss philosopher Alain de Botton. As goal we wish to analyze the pedagogical project, the educational process and the teaching material used in this educational experiment. We start with the hypothesis that in this school there is a development programme of an alleged secular spirituality in course. We question the implications of this principle to the so-called post-modern society, conceived will situated among a secular style of life and a revenge of the sacred. We analyze these pedagogical proposals in a context where the guarantee of material conditions for the sustention of life leans on an economy based on the neoliberal capitalism model. We synthesize our inquietude on the hypothesis that the school‟s programme presents itself as an educational action associated with a movement, of larger social amplitude, of a new modality of colonization that takes place in the territory of hope and the territory of sense. We traced a development of our hypothesis through an initial effort to delimit the territory that is constituted in the bipolarity of the relation that each subject establishes with the world in an attitude of belief. Between the living of a belief and the presence in the world we situate a space constituted by intermediation devices directly related to the subject‟s form of comprehension of what happens to himself and around him, with enough strength to determine his conditions of action. We highlight on these forms of mediation the role of philosophy, focusing on the work of thought, the role of literature, focusing on the reading and writing, and the role of fiction, focusing on the relation between imagination and perception
