Abstract

Paulo Freire, inspiring and theorist of popular education movement has formulated a proposal for education from the oppressed and not the oppressor, he said education should firstly transform traditional systems of education and build a proposal to rewrite the pedagogical practice, rethinking political meaning of education. Created Education of liberation for the oppressed classes considered in the attempt to educate them politically. Liberation theology is a theological reflection that proposes the political commitment of faith with the historical reality from the perspective of the struggle for liberation of the oppressed classes. Seeing poverty as a structural sin offering the political involvement of Christians in building a more just and caring society. One of the main characteristics of the liberation theology is to see the poor, not as objects of charity, but subject to their own liberation, the main character of his own story. So what you want to highlight are the main points between liberation theology and Education of Paulo Freire since the concern of both is with the poor and oppressed. Besides a common context, the historical origin and social liberation theology and Education of Paulo Freire employ a convergent terminology. The work of Paulo Freire is directed to the folk school, a libertarian education, dedicated to the poor and liberation theology operates through the church and Christians of poor communities to formulate a theology libertarian especially from Christians themselves. Paulo Freire has much in common with Liberation Theology and Liberation Theology has much in common with the Education of Paulo Freire. This approach leads to consider a mutual reciprocal influence, although both have their own history of emergence and development. The motivation is problematical point the contribution of these two major simultaneous events from the national historical context of the 1960s.
