La libertad como propósito formativo pedagogía y derecho

This paper develops the idea of freedom as a formative purpose from two classics of modernity, which are Jean Jacques Rousseau, in his text Emile or On Education and Immanuel Kant, in his text Pedagogy. It is argued that freedom is a problematic concept not only at a theoretical level but also at a practical level. This concept is approached, in the authors studied, from an educational and juridical perspective, which implies total independence and choice on the part of human beings, who are not subject to the opinions or arbitrations of others or to the experiences that correspond to the natural law of phenomena. Precisely, education and law must have as their ultimate goal the conquest of freedom. The hermeneutic reading of these two texts triggers a concern for the exercise of freedom in human beings, where it is necessary to think and deepen, from the professional and disciplinary field of pedagogy, not only in educational and formative terms, but also to delve into a critical reflection of rules and law.
