Entre a escola e a vida: desafios da ética de si para a experiência formativa

This essay aims to analyze the relationship between life and school. In opposition totheoretical perspectives longed for a possible reconciliation between life and school, we look for toshow to existing tension between these two spheres, making an analysis of the themes of theexperience with birth, death and the difference, and highlight that this reflection invites the subjectsof the educational practice to an ethical attitude of care for the other, for oneself and so that theother one takes care of the care of the self. Having the thoughts of Arendt’s and Foucault’s asreference, we understand that life goes beyond school knowledge and practices, offering us what wethink about educational practice and making the subjects of that practice learn how to placethemselves between life and school, looking for new senses for themselves and resistance to theexistent while they transform themselves. Thus, we wait to offer the educators some life problemsthat pervade the educational practice, reverberate in their experience and make them think aboutwhat they have left.
