Sistema educacional de aristóteles: um estudo aproximativo

Abstract

This dissertation aims to contribute in building a theoretical foundation on the work of the teacher and the social educator, based on Aristotle s Ethics and Politics. Initially, the lack of what we are calling Aristotle s educational system on the History of Education manuals caused certain uneasiness on the reader. Before the importance of discussing the ancient Greek philosophers educational systems we question the absence previously mentioned on the manuals of Education. Established that, the hypothesis of this paper is that Aristotle theoretically presents a set of coordinated elements exposing the organization of a city, as well as a educational organization. As the object of this study, we highlight the manuals of Education available in Brazil. As theoretical references in this research, we took the books Nicomachean Ethics and Politics by Aristotle. To answer our questions, the goals of this paper are: a) to demonstrate through the manuals of Education from antiquity that Aristotle is not described as a theoretical of Education; b) to demonstrate by Aristotle s work that he elaborated an important theoretical system of Education to the History of the pedagogical thinking. We emphasize that the understanding of the ancient Greek characters related to Education is important to the comprehension of the afterwards periods in the History of Education.
