Abstract

TADDEI, Paulo Eduardo Dias  and  SANTOS, Magda Gisela Cruz dos. The theoretical foundation of Paulo Freire and the possibility of a dominant influence. Educação. Santa Maria [online]. 2018, vol.43, n.2, pp.301-312. ISSN 1984-6444.  https://doi.org/10.5902/1984644423053.

The analysis of the main theoretical influences of Paulo Freire's thought, the existentialism, the phenomenology, the Marxism, the personalism and the Christianity, aims to evaluate if it is possible to consider the predominance of one of these in the set of his work. This is a bibliographic study of nature in which , based on the theoretical and methodological perspective of dialectical historical materialism, it was analyzed the major works of Freire , locating the central categories and investigating its relationship with the different theoretical influences of the author . Considering the scope of Freire's work in Brazil and in the world, it means that the analysis of the constituent influences of his theory reveals not only the uniqueness of synthesis accomplished by the author, as the relevance and topicality of his work to the research and studies in education.

Keywords : Paulo Freire; Theoretical Foundation; Dominant Influence.
