PELOSO, Franciele Clara  and  PAULA, Ercília Maria Angeli Teixeira de. The constitution of the human being from diverse contexts and experiences in infants: the complexity of Paulo Freire’s works. Práxis Educativa [online]. 2021, vol.16, e2116609.  Epub Oct 20, 2021. ISSN 1809-4309.  https://doi.org/10.5212/praxeduc.v.16.16609.018.

Paulo Freire elaborated a distinct work, in which he defended multiple knowledge: scientific, technological, technical, popular, humanitarian. Freire is an endless intelectual who focuses on understanding social problems. His works are mostly considered for his contributions to adult education and, more specifically, to popular education. However, in his works there are also reflections on children and their infancies. Thus, this is a theoretical essay whose objective is to discuss and critically reflect on Freire’s concerns with infant education. These analyses state that Freire’s assumptions can be recreated in the contexts related to infant education, announcing other possibilities in relation to practices carried out with children, as well as the conceptions of infancies.

Keywords : Paulo Freire; Children; Infant education.
