This paper aims at showing the relationship between semi-formation by Adorno and the paranoia in the field of knowledge. According to Adorno, the emancipation is oriented by the dialectical criticism of the semi-formation and the paranoia in knowledge. A critical analysis of Adorno’s concepts of the semi-formation in knowledge is presented. This critical analysis is inserted in the critical context of the currently hegemonic epistemological ideas in the field of studies on education and knowledge. In this category of knowledge considered through the educational perspective, the instrumental reason is concretely questioned in its restrictive form of knowledge. Thus, it is possible to show some issues about contemporary education matters discussed under the perspective of the thoughts of Adorno.

Keywords : Education; SemiFormation; Adorno; Critical Theory.
