PONTE, Fernando. O Estado e a educação na perspectiva da classe trabalhadora. Perspectiva [online]. 2013, vol.31, n.01, pp.29-44. ISSN 0102-5473.

This article, highlighting several authors who emphasize the centrality of the labor category and others who criticize this position, attempts to present another side of the debate. It suggests that if its historical-cultural character is not considered, work - as a positive principle - becomes an idealization. It is even an educational principle, as is claimed by the working class perspective. In other words, if the concept is not seen as being one that creates value, formative emancipation is reduced to the plane of consciousness, and loses its ontology. In this scenario, the political centrality of capital is the substance that appears to recapture the centrality of labor. Its true challenge is to place the state and education under a different centrality, with revolutionary theory as the guiding educational principle.

Keywords : Work; Education; Crisis.
