Abstract

In this second decade of the 21st century, discussions about Education and its objectives have become ever greater. We live in strange times, permeated by individualism, combating critical thinking and totalitarianism, which makes us reflect more and more on the need for an Education focused on the dialogue of these issues, on alterity, on the other. In this sense, we seek in this article to reflect on the concepts of otherness in Emmanuel Levinas and dialogic education in Paulo Freire. The aim of this article is to relate the concepts of otherness in Levinas and dialogical education in Paulo Freire and understand how this relationship can become a path for education in our days. This article is justified in that it provides reflections on Education and Alterity as a way to think about Education in the present day. Therefore, the methodology is bibliographical and qualitative. It is concluded that both, based on their particularities, discuss the need to look at the human person, share existences, recognize the Other as the Other and from that, also recognize oneself as I, be open to dialogue, to discourse. Welcoming experiences and respecting each other. Starting from the relationship of these concepts, it is then possible to rethink the relationships established in the field of education, in schools and in learning methods.
