EDUCATION AND EMANCIPATION IN T. W ADORNO: CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FORMATION OF TEACHERS

Abstract

For Adorno, education is primarily engaged in human emancipation. Emancipate, as we shall see, it means creating conditions so that everyone can live freely, and thus be able to develop their full potential. But, if on the one hand these goals are presented even to us with a certain obviousness, on the other hand, as will point Adorno, its effectiveness will find difficult or hand way. Faced with such questions, the article presents to what extent it is possible to build an education for empowerment, emphasizing, above all, the role of teachers in this process.
