O problema da verdade e a educação
Abstract
Tendo em vista que, desde a Grécia antiga, a verdade tem sido considerada um ideal para o conhecimento humano, discute alguns aspectos das críticas feitas por filósofos como Chaim Perelman e por alguns cientistas contemporâneos. A verdade eterna, como base para o conhecimento e para os julgamentos morais, cede lugar à noção de verdade provisória, construída pelos homens no curso de sua existência social. Em conseqüência, as relações éticas e pessoais são debatidas com vistas a levantar questões polêmicas e interessantes para os professores e todos os que lidam com crianças e com jovens em geral. Palavras-chave: verdade; ética; educador. Abstract Taking into account that, since ancient Greece, truth has been considered an ideal to human knowledge, this paper discusses some aspects of the critical approaches conducted by philosophers like Chaim Perelman and also by some contemporary scientists. The Eternal truth, as basis to knowledge and moral judgments, is replaced by the concept of provisional truth, which is built by mankind in the course of its social existence. Therefore, ethical and personal relationships are debated aiming at pointing out interesting and polemical issues for teachers and all those who deal with children and young people in general. Keywords: truth; argument; education.Downloads
