BACH JUNIOR, Jonas. The biographical work as a source of learning: self-education and Goethe’s phenomenology. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2019, vol.35, n.74, pp.233-250.  Epub 30-Abr-2019. ISSN 1984-0411.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0104-4060.61760.

This article presents the proposal of biographical work as a process of research and learning. The subject immersed in their own life history performs a self-transformation by intensifying their cognitive, emotional, and volitional forces. The biographical work reveals a wide diversity of application in education through researching the biography of the educational process, the biography of the learning, the biography of the own development, the biography of the threats, the biography of the evolution of the personality. Goethe's phenomenology serves as a methodological basis for biographical research, because it works with transdisciplinarity and allows an approach at the level of the complexity of human biography. Goethian phenomenology is an investigative stance which aims to discover typical patterns and trends in human existence, allowing the subject to perform a process of self-transformation for the formation of one's own identity.
