A educação como caminho para a autonomia: uma perspectiva kantiana

Abstract

This study aims to establish research addressing the understanding of the fundamental relationship between education and autonomy in the thought of Immanuel Kant, with the main objective of investigating how Kantian philosophy conceives education as an essential means to enable individuals to achieve autonomy. The research is motivated by the need to deepen the understanding of the role of education in the intellectual development of human beings. Thus, the relevance of this investigation lies in the lasting influence of Kant's ideas in the context of education and pedagogy, as well as in the understanding of the formation of human autonomy as an individual. The discussion is conducted through an in-depth analysis of Kant’s works related to the concepts of education and autonomy. The research will follow an analytical approach, based on the examination of Kant’s works and a critical review of the existing literature on the subject. The relationship between education and autonomy in Kant will be dissected, and the project will seek to identify the causal connections that demonstrate how education plays a central role in the development of individual autonomy.
