BATISTA, Eduardo Pereira. The Antinomy of the Mortal and Immortality in Education. Educ. Real. [online]. 2023, vol.48, e120212. ISSN 2175-6236.  https://doi.org/10.1590/2175-6236120212vs01.

This paper to show how the activity of education in the modern world is linked to the Arendtian philosophical project. Starting with a brief exposition of the reading hypothesis proposed by Paul Ricoeur, I first intend to highlight the ethical-political sense of the Arendtian philosophical project. For Ricoeur, the investigation carried out by Hannah Arendt in The Human Condition can be read as a philosophical anthropology, that is, as a genre of meditation that seeks to identify the enduring traits of the human condition that can resist the vicissitudes of the modern world. Next, I will try to explain the unfoldings of this interpretation in order to think about the antinomy of mortal and immortality in the field of education, since the central question of philosophical anthropology, according to Ricoeur, lies in the intimate disproportion of our temporal condition as mortal beings.

Keywords : Education; Immortality; Common World.
