TREVISAN, Amarildo Luiz. Morality, biopolitics and Education in post-truth times. Conjectura: filos. e Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.25, edossie.2. ISSN 2178-4612.  https://doi.org/10.18226/21784612.v25.dossie.2.

The article aims to address the theme of morality in the field of Education from the transition from Freud’s discussion to Adorno (and Horkheimer), enhanced by the understanding of bio-politics by Foucault and Agamben. The objective is to criticize the act of discriminating and directing the destination of public funds not for education, but for the benefit of market values. The theme of morality is being widely used as a mass training expedition with fascist characteristics in Brazil today, which demands a hermeneutic effort to rethink its philosophical and psychoanalytic premises. It is not just a question of investigating the positive role played by clusters working for high causes. More than that, it is important to understand how they unite around conservative guidelines and use the moral shield in post-truth times as a distraction from the real problems faced by Brazilian public life. It is thus possible to delve into the psyche of the masses, realizing that the lack of detachment or identification between the self and the ideal of the self is one of the main reasons for the emergence of a biopolitics of morality that leads to the mass behavior of the individual. When he renounces his ideal of self to adopt standardized attitudes and behavior, he eventually abolishes his moral instinct and begins to operate without support in narcissism. It fails to aspire to his own self-assertion, focusing all his efforts on the ideal of the collective, without realizing that he pays the price of self-renunciation that leads to heteronomy, whose norms are prescribed by society.
