SILVA, Heraldo Aparecido. A filosofia da educação de Richard Rorty: epistemologia, conversação, redescrições, narrativas e as funções da educação. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2012, vol.26, n.52, pp.509-526. ISSN 1982-596X.

The objective of this study is to examine some aspects of Richard Rorty’s philosophy of education. In this approach we will favor the philosophical background of distinctive and complementary educational processes of socialization and individualization: the critical to epistemological paradigm, the proposition of a new educational or conversational paradigm, the philosophical method of redescription and the use of narratives as formative element. We highlight that our analysis is an endeavour to determine the limits and the intercession points between two educational processes, articulated with the possible use of the narratives as formative element. Final considerations indicate that this neopragmatist proposal is an incentive in favour of maintenance of habit of action which resulted in a human solidarity is created by increasing our sensibility to the specific details of the pain and humiliation of other unfamiliar human beings.

Keywords : Pragmatism; Epistemology; Education; Narratives; Rorty.
