A educação a partir da experiência estética pré-reflexiva em Merleau-Ponty

Abstract

For a long time, education persisted in resorting to a teaching method that was basically based on the transmission of knowledge, in which the teacher represented the figure of power and knowledge and the student was only a receiver; therefore, the relationship established in this methodology was unilateral. In our interpretation, Merleau-Ponty understands this as an invisible structure that can manifest itself thanks to the constitution of the aesthetic logos that makes it possible to perceive and expressthe world in a direct and original way, without intervals and without abysses; therefore, perceptual experience and life are surrounded by this original rationality. It is precisely in this understanding that we want to think of a rationality-oriented education that constitutes the aesthetic logos. From this conception arises another idea of education that illustrates the process of philosophical inquiry, starting from an original question. However, the reflections on the subject show that, as the educational process begins to be recognized as a true philosophical experience, the field of the exercise of education is expanded,that is, the pedagogical practice goes beyond the simple reproduction of the knowledge produced and perpetuated by the history of philosophy
