História intelectual de Paulo Freire: a liberdade e a ética como condição indissociável do ser mais

Abstract

This work is part of the Programa de Pós-Graduação stricto sensu em Educação da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás, in the Research Line: Education, Society, and Culture. The study aimed to investigate and explore the intellectual history of Paulo Freire. For this, an analysis was made of the national and regional historical context in which historical events and economic, political, social, and cultural realities were considered decisive in the intellectual formation of this educator. The main connections and influences that culminated in the creation of the entire system of Freire's thought, influenced by different segments of politics, culture, philosophy, etc., were highlighted. The question that inspired this analysis was the following: how does the notion of freedom and ethics, specific to the theory of liberation pedagogy, constitute the condition and possibility of being more in Paulo Freire's thought? To answer this question, we used bibliographic research in primary and secondary sources, consistent with the epistemic-methodological guidelines of the History of Intellectuals, and specifically the linguistic context of Quentin Skinner (1940-). It was possible to conclude that, in Paulo Freire's theoretical construct, both freedom and ethics are inseparable conditions of being more. And, finally, it was understood that these categories of analysis constitute a basic trilogy of the Freirean philosophical and pedagogical system.
