The metaphysics ofsubjectivity in education: The difficulties of disengagiment

Abstract

Today's understanding about education, whereas a radical criticism that adrnits the loss of the unifying principIe of the pedagogical system, whereas a redefinition of its possible meaning, includes the understanding about metaphysics of subjectiveness. This idea was frrst determined by Descartes and Kant, who are examples of the beginning of subjective, rational and autonomous consciousness which justified the modem educative project. In Nietzsche we can observe the criticism towards metaphysics that put an end to the assumption that the autonomous reason could produce the truth and and set the bases to morality. Due to ilusions that were produced by metaphysics, education has faced some difficulties with the loss of its justification basis.
