SANTOS, João Wilson Sobral. Philosophy in Pedagogy of the Opressed. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2021, vol.35, n.74, pp.943-969.  Epub Jan 15, 2024. ISSN 1982-596X.  https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.v35n74a2021-63371.

The article intends to carry out an introductory approach to the philosophy present in the work Pedagogy of the Oppressed (1968) by Paulo Freire. Following its original flow in four sections, it is analyzed how concepts created or used by Freire correspond to or dialogue with concepts from several philosophical currents such as phenomenology, existentialism, Hegelian dialectics and Marxian and Marxist thought in general. Freire's critical Christianity, the legitimacy of the violence of the oppressed, the adherence of the oppressed to the oppressor (quickly passing through some psychoanalytic concepts) and the catharsis of methodology are also addressed topics. The strong influence of the Brazilian philosopher Álvaro Vieira Pinto on Freire is highlighted as well.

Keywords : Pedagogy of the Oppressed; Dialectics; Phenomenology; Marxism.
