GLASS, Ronald David. Revisitando os fundamentos da educação para a libertação: o legado de Paulo Freire. Educ. Real. [online]. 2013, vol.38, n.03, pp.831-851. ISSN 0100-3143.

This essay examines, critiques, and extends the ontological, epistemological, ethical, and political foundations of Paulo Freire’s theory of liberation education; it also situates Freire’s legacy within the global application of his ideas in a wide range of educational contexts. It defends historicity and praxis as essential characteristics of human existence, exposes the problems with notions of authentic identities, and elaborates a historicized understanding of knowledge production. The essay argues for liberation education to be grounded in an ethics without righteousness coupled with a politics of militant nonviolence.

Keywords : Freire; Liberation Education; Ethics; Ontology; Epistemology; Philosophy of Education.
