LIMA, João Francisco Lopes de. The criticism of humanism in education and the repercussions on the pedagogical discourse in the contemporary scenario. Contrapontos [online]. 2011, vol.11, n.01, pp.62-69. ISSN 1984-7114.

This study examines topics concerning the impact of the post-modern scenario on the formulation of pedagogical discourse, particularly based on the critique of the humanistic ideas that generally support the modern tradition of education. The emergence of the postmodern, as a milestone of thought, puts the modern tradition under suspicion, mainly because it criticizes the weakness of its foundations. Finally, this study considers the impact of the criticism of the humanistic basis of education in the contemporary scenario, a period when we can no longer rely on the comfort of a solid, all-surpassing theory, and at the same time, are not exempt from justifying the pedagogical action.

Palavras-chave : Postmodernity; Pedagogical Discourse; Crisis of Humanism.
