The primary mission of this text is clarifying many of the
misconceptions about Paulo Freire's theories, concepts and his
implications for education. It revisits his ideas and explains more
fully the philosophical influences that shaped concepts such as
problem posing, conscientization and praxis. The fundamental
thesis, then, is that the present absence of in-depth philosophical
analysis leaves an unacceptable void in the literature addressing
Freire's work, while also promoting frequent misconceptions and
superficial understandings about his relationship to contemporary
education. Indeed, the philosophical assumptions contributing to
Freire's critical pedagogy require identification, unravelling and
ultimately evaluation on the basis of their epistemic and moral
tenability. Most existing applications of Freire's pedagogy are
unfortunately superficial because they simply sloganize terms such
as banking education, conscientization, praxis, and humanization. A
slogan in education popularizes a concept or idea in a positive
way, but offers very little in terms of critical reflection or
analysis. In order to understand these terms and their origin and
apply them as Freire intended, a far richer and more in depth
examination of Freire is desperately needed. This text will provide
precisely that type of examination.
