A libertação dos oprimidos

This text aimed to reflect on the concept of freedom and liberation, from what Paulo Freire said in Education as a Practice of Freedom (which he calls the “introduction to Pedagogy of the Oppressed”) and Pedagogy of the Oppressed. In our view, as the concept of freedom was specially suggested by Erich Fromm, we brought to the debate his problematization. We identify that Freire, in a certain way, preaches the idea of freedom, used initially to mean the ideas of Fromm, and especially turns Marxist ideas. This demonstrates Freire's investment in the liberation of the oppressed, where almost every purpose of his pedagogy lies, whose main work, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, is completing fifty years.
