Description

Paulo Freire: A Philosophical Biography

This book offers a new and timely reading of Paulo Freire's work and life, interweaving philosophical, educational, and biographical elements to prompt reflection on what we thought we knew about him. It explores the relationship between education and politics through five key themes: life, equality, love, errantry, and childhood.

Featuring a conversation with Paulo Freire's youngest son, Lutgardes Costa Freire, as well as contributions from other prominent scholars, this biography provides a nuanced understanding of Freire's work within the context of Brazil's past and current political landscape. A foreword by renowned Freirean scholar and activist Antonia Darder adds further depth to the narrative.
