SCHLESENER, Anita Helena. Education and Philosophy: a reading from Freud and Benjamin. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2019, vol.33, n.69, pp.1467-1499.  Epub Feb 06, 2022. ISSN 1982-596X.  https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.v33n69a2019-50448.

This article aims to weave some considerations about the conceptions of the world that form our imaginary from a reading of Freud and Benjamin. This theoretical contribution allows us to understand the ideological dimension of ideas and prejudices that sediment common sense and consolidate relationships of dependence. Education, understood as a process of formation that happens in life, feeds on philosophy even unconsciously, and social and political relations guide the formation of individual subjectivity. Benjamin explains these relationships by analyzing the dream-images by comparing the concepts of dream and awakening with the purpose of showing the importance of knowing the past to elaborate a materialistic history of culture as a basic task to think about the future.

Keywords : Education; Philosophy; Dream images; Ideology.
