MARCON, Telmo  and  DOURADO, Ivan Penteado. Paulo Freire a classic of education: epistemic, political and pedagogical contributions. Rev. Reflex [online]. 2017, vol.25, n.2, pp.84-100. ISSN 1982-9949.  https://doi.org/10.17058/rea.v25i2.8774.

The bibliographical article aims to support the thesis that Paulo Freire is a classic of education and has much to contribute to think about the emerging challenges in the present time of both the global context and the Brazilian society. The thesis that Freire is a classic is based on the contributions of Italo Calvino when he presents several arguments to justify why to read a classic, as well as the contributions of Raymond Williams to support the idea that a classic maintains its vitality as long as it can problematize and respond to challenges arising in different contexts. These two authors help to support the proposition that Paulo Freire is a classic of education because he answered questions of his time, whose ideas continue to provoke reflections on epistemic, political and educational emerging problems in the present time.

Keywords : Education; Democracy; Classic; Paulo Freire; Educationalpolitics.
