Abstract

Abstract Inspired by the life and thought of Paulo Freire, this text affirms the “generative subjectivities” – a form of transit to other existential conditions, possible becomings of life and of other worlds –, as the sense of a philosophical education. Such education encompass three problematizing fields: (i) the relation of oneself with otherness; (ii) philosophical asceticism as a political form of social life; and (iii) the production of truths beyond those prefigured by oppressive, anti-democratic, and dehumanizing forces. We thus engage in a double movement: to existentialize philosophy and to philosophize an educational life. Indirectly, we also answer an “old” query among us: is Paulo Freire a philosopher of education? (AU)
