Filosofia da Educação

Abstract

The book Philosophy of Education, written by João Rivelino Rezende Barreto, is part of a series focused on teacher training in the Amazonian context and explores the theoretical foundations of the field, organized into three sections. The book addresses the meaning and purpose of philosophy and education dating back to Ancient Greece, examines modern philosophical approaches by thinkers such as Descartes, Kant, Locke, Rousseau, and Marx, and critically analyzes pedagogical thought in Brazil and the Amazon, emphasizing the importance of rural, riverine, and indigenous communities.
