This paper shows how Millán-Puelles considers man as a creature with a nature –a principle of operations which is determined but not fi xed– that is endowed with the possibility of perfection. On this basis, the human being can advance on the path of plenitude through the use of freedom in accordance with truth. This is the educational process in which freedom bridges the gap between indigence of nature and its perfection. It is to educate by leading the human being to plenitude, allowing them to grow in good and complete their being. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper proposes a new formulation of the musical identity from the notion of the complete education of the human being and the experiences made in the fi eld of the psychology of music. From the induction of emotions in the experience of beauty, a person participates in musical consumption as a response to that experience. Thus, an aesthetic dialogue, which is both a mark on the musical identity and the personal identity, becomes essential to a complete education of the person. Following conclusions affecting educators in a broadest sense and also in the practice of music education arise. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
