O ideário educacional iluminista na produção da escola pública

Abstract

In dialogue with some theses of the book "A Produção da Escola Pública Contemporânea", the article seeks to classical texts of Enlightenment authors, and proposals and bills drafted by bourgeois revolutionaries, evidence to support the hypothesis of intentionality of the bourgeoisie, expressed by the defense of their class interests in the design of educational ideas, as one of objective determinations that hindered the expansion of the Public School in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In this way, it is observed that the defense of a development based on natural talents, education could result in a two-tier education system, favoring the consolidation of bourgeois class that came to power.
