Abstract

A critical view of education requires, from any person interested on the subject, a commitment from that person´s being, knowledge and actions, aiming to build a constant self-criticism and achieving a coherence between speech and deeds and a commitment from his/her being and feelings. This paper goes through the main assumptions of Henry Giroux in the critical pedagogy proposal of his book “Theory and Resistance in Education” (1992). The concept of critical theory refers to the nature of the self-conscious criticism and to the necessity to develop a speech about transformation and social emancipation which is not dogmatically attached to its own doctrinal assumptions, recognizing the fact that story can be changed and that the potential for a radical transformation really exists. Even though it is not possible to say that there is a single critical theory that can be shared universally, an evaluation of the new conformation of capitalism and its search for economical and ideological control can be considered as a common attempt. The aim to find the bases of a critical theory requires paying attention to the work developed by the Frankfurt School.
