Antropologia filosófica, educaçãoe práxis de libertação

Abstract

In Paulo Freire, his philosophical ideas and anthropological conceptions emerge together in the same reflexive activity in which seeks to understand human exis-tence. There seem to us appropriate the reference to the educator as an elabo-rator of a philosophical anthropology. This paper attempts to systematize, from the perspective of philosophy of education, the main component elements of its anthropological conception and his educational theory. Thus, contribute, from a compromised thought with the emancipatory task of the subject and ethical criteria to guide social coexistence, to the dialogue about issues and emerging challenges in various contemporary educational practices. This reflection supposes there are three thematic fields from which we can capture the major philosophical ruminations of Paulo Freire: the subject field of existence, the theory of knowl-edge and praxis about the world.
