Bücher von Paulo Freire

Pedagogy of the Oppressed, a masterpiece penned by Paulo Freire, is a landmark book in the genre of educational philosophy. First published by Penguin Books Ltd in 2017, this book remains a significant resource for understanding and challenging the traditional norms of education. Freire's innovative approach towards the relationship between teacher and student has left a profound impact on the education system worldwide. The book invites readers to question the 'banking' concept of education, where the student is seen as an empty account to be filled by the teacher. Instead, Freire proposes a 'problem-posing' education where the teacher and student become co-creators of knowledge. This revolutionary approach has made 'Pedagogy of the Oppressed' an essential read for anyone interested in education and its role in society. Published by Penguin Books Ltd, this book continues to inspire and provoke thought in its readers.

Diese Sammlung von Schriften aus der Zeit von 1970 bis 1990 des brasilianischen Pädagogen Paulo Freire (1921-1997) gibt einen Einblick in die Grundlagen und Prinzipien seiner Bildungsarbeit auf der Basis der Pädagogik der Befreiung. In den ausgewählten Texten werden nicht nur pädagogische Probleme und inhaltlich-methodische Fragen der Bildungsarbeit thematisiert. Sie enthalten ebenso Analysen und Bewertungen von Politik, Kultur, Religion, Ethik und Veränderungsmöglichkeiten von Gesellschaft - eine Erweiterung, die sich gegen eine Vorstellung wendet, Pädagogik sei von Gesellschaft und Politik losgelöst zu behandeln. Scharfsinnig hat Freire u.a. die verheerenden Folgen des Neoliberalismus für Individuum und Gesellschaft analysiert und zum widerständigen Denken und Handeln ermuntert.Eine Auswahl repräsentativer alter und neuer Texte von Paulo Freire: Wer sie zur Hand nimmt, entdeckt rasch, dass uns dieser brasilianische Pädagoge nicht nur für die Theorie und Praxis unserer Erziehungsarbeit, sondern für unser Überleben Entscheidendes zu sagen hat.Prof. Dr. Ulrich Becker, Universität Hannover
