We aim in this article to dwell on the following questioning: in the relationship between teacher and student in the classroom, is it possible, through mutual reckoning, break with the principle of inequality of intelligence, which leads to brutalizing, rather than that lead to an education towards emancipation? To begin with, mainly based on Judith Butler (US, 1956), the process of mutual reckoning is described, and we endeavor to show that in the relationship between teacher and student as well as in other possible circumstances, mutual reckoning takes place according to some determined rules which limit the modes of reckoning. Then, with Jacques Rancière (Argel, 1940), we focus on the principle of the mentalities that, according to the French-Argelian philosopher, exists as unquestionable truth or unbreakable belief in the relationship between teacher and learner. Seen inside the box of inequality of mentalities, the relationship between teacher and student fits into polarized duos, in which case we have on one hand the teacher as sage and possessor of all knowledge, and on the other hand the student seen as stupid, a passive spectator, incapable of learning on his own and always depending on the teacher who will explain everything to him. In such terms, mutual reckoning becomes impossible. Last but not least, still working with Rancière, we display the principle of equality in mentalities, and dwell on the possibility of a breach in that principle, aiming at an education engaged not engaged with brutalizing and submission of the learner’s intelligence to that teacher, but with the emancipation of both, seen thenceforth as inter-actors in the classroom having the same level of intelligence.
