SILVA, Alex Sander da  and  SANTOS, Karoline Cipriano dos. LIBERATING EDUCATION AGAINST IGNORANCE AND BARBARISM: NOTES FROM THE CRITICAL THOUGHT OF PAULO FREIRE. Eccos Rev. Cient. [online]. 2022, n.61, e15794.  Epub Feb 09, 2024. ISSN 1983-9278.  https://doi.org/10.5585/eccos.n61.15794.

Brazilian education, ironically, remains the target of a policy of deregulation of the state and market interests of finance capital. From this perspective, the scenario Brazilian educational configures obscurantists shaped, above all, by funding cuts, it becomes an arena of ideological conflicts in which teachers are characterized as “ideological indoctrinators” and with the interest of drastically reducing humanist and which understands knowledge hierarchized by its usefulness and identified by the vocabulary of the practice. This essay intends to reflect on the senses of "educating" (forming), in the perspective of the contributions of education as a practice of freedom and autonomy by Paulo Freire. Firstly, we seek an exposition of Freire's thinking, especially his analysis of banking education and its counterpoint in liberating education. In a second moment, we deal with education as a critical resistance to ignorance and barbarism in the current condition of the Brazilian educational field in times of neoconservatism, particularly in an exercise of critical thinking about our social time, which attempts to deny Freire's thought.

Keywords : education; Paulo Freire; emancipation; ignorance; barbarism..
