SILVA, José Nogueira da; SANTOS, Adriana Cavalcanti dos  and  SANTOS, Inalda Maria dos. PAULO FREIRE: COUNTERPOINTS TO THE NEOCONSERVATIVE DISCOURSE. Eccos Rev. Cient. [online]. 2021, n.59, e15807.  Epub Feb 07, 2024. ISSN 1983-9278.  https://doi.org/10.5585/eccos.n59.15807.

This paper is built on the intertwining of the counterpoints between the neoconservative discourse and the freedom and human formation principles defended by Freire (2018). The results show us that both discourses have different purposes, especially when we are talking about the conception of freedom, since the freedom of economic competition and its consumption was predominant in the neoliberal theory and in self-proclaimed neoliberal governments, and, on the other hand, the freedom in the Freirean education defends the self-consciousness in the world to allow a constant quest to be more. In these terms, it is necessary to be aware of the obstacles of capitalism and its neoliberal attitudes that, contradictorily, prevent the actions of the subject as a free agent.

Keywords : capitalismo; freedom; neoliberalism..
