Abstract

SILVA, Heraldo Aparecido. Anxiety of influence and misreading in Pragmatist's philosophy of education: Dewey, Rorty and Lipman. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2016, vol.30, n.59, pp.189-207. ISSN 1982-596x.  https://doi.org/10.14393/REVEDFIL.issn.0102-6801.v30n59a2016-p189a207.

The objective of this study is to examine some aspects of educational philosophy in the American pragmatist tradition. Moreover, given that the study refers directly to the question about the influence of Dewey over Rorty and Lipman, we will also use the Harold Bloom's dialectic of revisionism. The main principle of Bloom's thesis is that the revisionist relations, that is, the influence among great authors always occurs by strong readings: the heart of this misreading lies in the complex critical act of interpreting dialectically through a process that involves acquisition (review), distortion (deviation) and correction (redirection) from the original doctrine. Finally, we propose that, despite the different views found in the multifaceted contemporary neo-pragmatism, the social, political and educational concerns widely discussed by Dewey are thriving and current, whether it is in Rorty's proposal with his literary philosophy, or Lipman's proposal with his philosophy of childhood.
