FROTA, Ana Maria Monte Coelho. Childhood, education philosophy and phenomenology: necessary approaches. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2018, vol.24, n.1, pp.84-90. ISSN 1809-6867. https://doi.org/10.18065/RAG.2018v24n1.9.
This work aims to start a discussion between philosophy of education, phenomenology, hermeneutics, and childhood. It has as a starting point the consideration that philosophy of education has been doing a great progress in the studies about childhood and child, pointing to possible directions of rupture with paradigms supported in modernity. This paper seeks to build a closer relation with heideggerian hermeneutic, considering some points of approximation between the philosophies. From then on, it brings some possible points of tangency between the perspectives. Furthermore, knowing that there is a lack of discussion between childhood and child in Heidegger's work, justified by Heidegger's preoccupation with the ontological question of the sense of being, we attempt to look at ontological elements that enable reflections inspired in the hermeneutic philosophy, providing a better comprehension of childhood.
