MARTINAZZO, Celso José. The sense of the act of educating in Edgar Morin. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2019, vol.33, n.67, pp.401-426.  Epub Aug 30, 2021. ISSN 1982-596X.  https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.v33n67a2019-39154.

Our intention, in this text, is to contribute with the debate about the reason of being of the school, as well as the sense and purpose of education. The reflection has French thinker Edgar Morin’s works as source of inspiration, with the objective of understanding which the great purposes of the educational process should be. The study is bibliographic, having as horizon the complexity principles. The research allows to conclude that, in his early writings, Morin points out to the need of instituting a policy of civilization that contemplates the planetary context of the humanity. With the elapse of time and, above all, in the most recent writings, Morin reframes Montaigne’s and Rousseau’s thought: with inspiration in Montaigne indicates that it is up to the school to graduate the student with a well-made head and based in Rousseau resumes the idea that the school has the role of teaching to live.

Keywords : Complex thinking; Thinking reform; Sense of the education.
