Pós-modernidade e educação: algumas reflexões sobre a subjetivação

Abstract

The present work studies the change on the epistemological paradigms in modern science. Many contemporary authors signalize that the human sciences are prioritizing ethics and esthetics issues. In this study, we make a brief way back of the hegemony of the iluminism ration and its changes to cynical ration, during upper modernity. Next, we present some post-modernism chacteristics and its results upon education. We finish this article stating the tesis that ethics cannot be separeted of epistemology, searching the fundamentation on the proposal of "Communicative Action Theory" (Habermas) and on the "Genetic Epistemology of Piaget". In this thesis we show some directions for education in the new millenium that is right ahead of us.
