Abstract

This study critically discusses the relations between pedagogy and the theology of entrepreneurship, as we call it the “culture of inspiration”. We analyze the didactic proposal of The School of Life using Agamben’s profanation perspective paired with social discourse analysis. Our main object of study is The Book of Life, the school bible that unites within its rhetoric entrepreneurial pedagogy, self-help and religious discourse applied to capitalism, synthesized in the evocation of its audience towards a sort of self-entrepreneurism.
