SILVA, Divino José da. Adornian essay practice and philosophizing in education. Sér.-Estud. [online]. 2013, n.36, pp.33-48. ISSN 2318-1982. https://doi.org/10.20435/2318-1982-2013-v.36(03).
In “Essay as Form”, Theodor Adorno criticizes the dominant philosophical thinking that, by different means, claims understanding the reality as a whole, in which the universal nature of the concept nullifies the singularity of the object. Adorno considers the essay as a possibility of thinking about aspects of the object that were, coercively, denied by the identity nature of reason. Our aim in this article is to reflect on the importance of the essay in philosophy of education as a way of reflection on education. The essay, in adornian terms, encourages us to question values, believes, and stereotypes that restrain our educational experience, and at the same time, it enable us to retrieve, within such experience, what has been forgotten by reason, by knowledge, and by pedagogical practices of the present days.
