COSSETIN, Vania Lisa Fischer. Moral asepsis in education. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2021, vol.35, n.73, pp.393-422.  Epub Jan 11, 2024. ISSN 1982-596X.  https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.v35n73a2021-54953.

The purpose of this article is to question the alleged dissociation between ethics and morals and its consequences for the education, from a hermeneutic perspective. Starting from the hypothesis that theorizations and educational and pedagogical ramifications have been disregarding the discussions on morals and their normative, prescriptive and even pragmatic demands, for the adoption of a posture of permanent suspension, relativization and criticism, at theoretical and practical levels. Such a perspective, in educational contexts, would lead to the abandonment and refusal of reasonable and minimally stable values, which are essential to the justification of the very reason for educating. Consequently, these writings have three key purposes: to understand the causes of the controversial, although necessary, dissociation between ethics and morals; to question the relationship between human becoming, its educational capacity and the moral subject; and to demonstrate the correspondence between ethics, morals and education.

Keywords : Ethics; Moral; Education; Human Condition.
