About this product
Product Information
Paulo Freire (1921-1997) is one of the most widely read and studied educational thinkers of our time. His seminal works, including Pedagogy of the Oppressed , sparked the global social and philosophical movement of critical pedagogy and his ideas about the close ties between education and social justice and politics are as relevant today as they ever were. In this book, Walter Omar Kohan interweaves philosophical, educational, and biographical elements of Freire's life which prompt us to reflect on what we thought we knew about Freire, and also on the relationship between education and politics more broadly. It offers a new and timely reading of Freire's work and life. The book is structured around five key themes that provide a new perspective on Freire's work: life, equality, love, errantry and childhood. It includes a contextualization of Freire's work within the past and current political terrain in Brazil, and encourages educators to put themselves and their educational work into question by highlighting some of Freire's lesser known thoughts on time. The book also includes a conversation with Lutgardes Costa Freire, Paulo's Freire's youngest son, a dialogue with the co-founder of the Latin American Philosophy of Education Society, Jason Wozniak (West Chester University, USA) , and a foreword by the renowned Freirean scholar and activist Antonia Darder (Loyola Marymount University, USA) .

Offers a fresh an innovative analysis of key postulates in Freire's work, such as Love or Equality, central components of the emancipation logic in Freire's epistemology. Relating them to gnoseological educative principles, this book traces some of Freire's philosophical propaedeutical roots and underscores his relevance today. A tour de force, philosophically confronting how the shadow of dominant educational neoliberal regimes, such as testing and accountability or the logic of possessive individualism as the main aim of education, have failed to emancipate individuals and societies, while also undermining the foundations of the scientific humanism represented in Freire's oeuvre ., A major contribution to the voluminous literature on Freire, a magisterial chronicle of Kohan's profound and extensive encounter with life, work and ideas of the "great educator from Pernumbuco." It is a work that promises to resonate with readers for years to come., A major contribution to the voluminous literature on Freire, a magisterial chronicle of Kohan's profound and extensive encounter with life, work and ideas of the 'great educator from Pernumbuco.'

Item was delivered as advertised however it was not delivered in a box which allowed it to receive some minor damage. Book was in 2 very durable form fitted vinyl/plastic bags which would have been great had then been placed in a box to protect it. Seller was very easy to discuss issue with and the damage is slight. I would buy again from this seller.
