PEREIRA, Paula Cristina  and  SILVA, Graça. The ethics of intellectual emancipation. Acta Scientiarum. Education [online]. 2015, vol.37, n.2, pp.109-115. ISSN 2178-5201.  https://doi.org/10.4025/actascieduc.v37i2.23674.

Based on texts by J. Rancière and matrix concepts such as empowerment and equality, the conditions of the possibility of an ethics of intellectual emancipation are explored and understood as a threshold attitude embodied in a sensitive reason which inaugurates a new rationality regime designated as a system of the possibles. Starting from the axiom l' égalité des intelligences (Rancière) as the founding principle of the emancipation movement, understood as an intermittent and rhizome process (Deleuze), short-circuit generator and escape routes that disrupt the established order of speeches and practices, current paper emphasizes the ethics of intellectual emancipation as a necessary condition, albeit insufficient, to setting up a new political community based on mutual recognition.

Keywords : Equality; Emancipation; Mutual Recognition; Democracy.
