ESCUDERO, Jaime Caiceo. Contrapunto filosófico educacional en Chile: humanismo laico versus humanismo cristiano. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2012, vol.26, n.51, pp.113-143. ISSN 1982-596X.

This paper’s aim is to put in counterpoint to two educational philosophies of two different characters from the second half of the XX century; these philosophies represent the secular and Catholic thought in Chile. They are: Roberto Munizaga and Ernesto Livacic who received the National Prize of Education in 1979 and 1993, respectively. In spite of the ideological differences, both of them take a tough contrary stand related to religious beliefs, however when they make their own analysis of the role that the educational process take place in human beings’ lives, they share outstanding concordances. The main aspects of Philosophy of education are treated from their respective approaches.

Keywords : Philosophy of Education; Educational Thought; History of Education; Educational Foundation; Educational Future.
