Abstract

JUNKES, Delcio  and  HORN, Geraldo Balduino. Self-reflection autonomy and think like assumptions and theoretical methodology of teaching philosophy: from analysis of critical the theory. Educação. Santa Maria [online]. 2015, vol.40, n.1, pp.63-74. ISSN 1984-6444.  https://doi.org/10.5902/1984644415908.

The central question-problem that this article presents has to do with the critical analysis that the authors of Critical Theory, particularly Adorno and Horkheimer, established between the project of enlightenment and the limits of emancipation of the individual. From this theoretical approach it is intended to show if it is possible to think in an emancipatory project in the context of today's capitalist society. On the one hand, it is sought to question the contradiction: the enlightenment as a promise of a better society and what of it, indeed, became: a totalitarian reason. On the other hand, it is intended to understand if, from the positioning of the authors, before the alleged project of enlightenment, philosophy and education would have a power of resistance related to the chaotic path that the civilizing process has taken.

Keywords : Teaching of Philosophy; Critical Theory; Self-Reflection; Autonomy of Thought.
