LOWNDS, Peter. WAKE UP AND DREAM A POLYPHONIC APPROACH TO FREIRIAN ROMANTICISM. Eccos Rev. Cient. [online]. 2020, n.52, e17097.  Epub Jan 29, 2024. ISSN 1983-9278.  https://doi.org/10.5585/eccos.n52.17097.

Paulo Freire's biography serves as a compass to his pedagogical praxis. In the present study, excerpts of his texts and interviews constitute a set of texts that are subjected to analysis in order to deduce moments that were key in his life. It also deduces from this work that the Pernambuco philosopher and educator belongs to the noble line of the romantics and that his ideological predecessors include Jean-Jacques Rousseau and William Morris. The way Freire treats human issues put him diametrically in the antagonistic position to any kind of conservatism or neoconservatism.
