Under the current scenario, a portion of society attributed to Paulo Freire the judgment of indoctrinator, questioning his ideas and assuming that his works are intended to reproduce a communism pointed out as chaga, the reason this article is politically positioned in defense of that educator. Not least since, according to the freirean logic, positioning is a political attitude. In this sense, data are presented to confirm Paulo Freire's concern with a Pedagogy based on ideals of valuing the human being. The research aim directs us to discuss concepts of Freirean Pedagogy from the seven most frequent words in the book Pedagogy of Autonomy. Regarding the methodology, this study fits into the qualitative approach with the use of the lexical analysis modality, circumscribed in the content analysis method. The data were collected through the use of the qualitative analysis program Nvivo®, through word frequency investigation. Finally, the examination of the data allowed us to discuss the dialogue between the subjects, knowledge and practices necessary to pedagogical praxis, as well as other pedagogical principles discussed by Freire.

Keywords : Paulo Freire; Pedagogy of Autonomy; Lexical analysis.
