Teses ad Feuerbach and education

Abstract

This paper analyses Marx’s Theses on Feuerbach in order to extract onto-methodological elements in support of a philosophy of education. We understand, in light of the analyses of Lukács and Mészáros, that Marxian thought differs qualitatively from modern scientific standards because of its introduction of a materialist and dialectical ontology of social being. This means that Marxian social theory has historicity in the ontological approach to social phenomena as its most essential core, and it seeks to understand these phenomena in their genesis and in terms of the social role they play in the process of social reproduction. We treat the revolutionary radicalism of the text under discussion in light of its potential to contribute to the educational debate.
