Papel da filosofia na formação do jovem do ensino médio à luz do pensamento de Antônio Joaquim Severino e Edgar Morin

Abstract

The objective of the present piece of work is introducing Severino and Edgar s thoughts about the role of philosophy in the formation of high school students. Severino points out the fact that philosophy has the function of helping the young ones on the search for the meaning of their existence. Meaning which is a result of the development of sensitivities as: epistemic, aesthetic, ethic and others. For Morin, since philosophy is a questioning force about human problems as: who am I? Where have I come from? Where will I go?, it can help the students on the development of problem-solving competence. These ideas were analyzed considering the possible relations (similarities, differences or divergences) among these thinkers positions and the educational implications that are derived from their thoughts and the relation among them. A bibliographical research on these thinkers work was done to achieve this objective. After prioritizing their work, the author s ideas on the formative role of philosophy and its contributions to high school students formation were understood and analyzed. For that, the method of comparative analysis of the thinkers ideas was used and, at last, the possible educational implications were examined through the comparative analysis of their ideas.
