MEDEIROS, José Washington de Morais and BRENNAND, Edna Gusmão de Góes. UTOPIA AS AN ATTRIBUTE OS EMANCIPATORY EDUCATION. R. Educ. Públ. [online]. 2021, vol.30, e7777. Epub Apr 19, 2021. ISSN 2238-2097. https://doi.org/10.29286/rep.v30ijan/dez.7777.
This essay reflects on pedagogical ideals of modern education, inherited from the Elightenment philosophy, as a mark for the citizen, critical and transformative formation in the present. It is about the educational bases that establish emancipation and utopia, and that aim to materialize the individual’s autonomy as an agent of a free, fair and egalitarian society. The discussion is subsidized by theoretical-hermeneutic incursions as comprehensive-interpretive methodology, based on the Habermasian categories of society and reason, to recognize education as an universal and permanent phenomenon that aggregated pluralities of (dialetical) perspectives which shaped the understanding about its concept and historical-social mission.
Keywords : Utopia; Rationality; Emacipation; Emancipatory.
