MENDONCA, Samuel  and  LOURENCO FILHO, Armando. A autonomia do aluno nas concepções clássica e iluminista de educação. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2012, vol.26, n.51, pp.25-46. ISSN 1982-596X.

In this paper we investigate and discuss the autonomy of the student in two different historical periods: the classical and the modern. The problem of the article concerns to the question: how the student autonomy was discussed in classical and modern periods? This study was based mostly on Platonic conceptions about the Paideia, and also in the educational conception thought by Rousseau and Kant, in the Age of Enlightenment, driven by a new ideal of human education that prioritized the development of reason. Both concepts (classical and modern periods) point out to the improvement of man through the education and also your humanization, highlighting the importance of the autonomous education. The utilized method is the literature review since the subject is within the context of philosophy of education. As a result, we see that autonomy constitutes the fundamental basis for the classical and the modern education.

Keywords : Autonomy; Paideia; Enlightenment; Rousseau; Kant.
