Porto Alegre [online]. 2014, vol.37, n.3, pp.441-453. ISSN 1981-2582.  https://doi.org/10.3703/set-dez201412.

The present essay aims at providing some reflection on the theme of education and ethics from the reading about the pedagogical thinking of Kant expressed in the text About the pedagogy. The aforementioned work originates from a course given by the philosopher at the University of Könisberg. It is considered by literature as a smaller text, inclusively for having been posthumously published by a disciple of Kant - Theodor Rink -, from the professor's notes used at lectures on themes regarding the pedagogy. It is understood that the About the pedagogy text illustrates the way in which Kant thought about the education. Enlightened by the writings from Rousseau, but deeply tributary of the literature of the Illustration, the work towards the search for understanding the issue of morality stands out. Kant considers a moral dimension inclusively in the act of instructing, whose anchor must be the transposition of nature to prepare for the age of judgment and also to prepare the childhood and youth for life in the collective.

Keywords : Education; Moral; Discipline; Rousseau; Kant.
