Entre as sendas da literatura: um ensaio metodológico para o ensino de filosofia

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to outline a methodological proposal for the teaching of philosophy based on its relations with literature. As a starting point we adopt a contemporary and very strict conception of the nature of philosophy and its teaching according to which its actualization is brought about by problems explored and discussed by the philosophers through history. Among the available methodologies and taking into consideration some current pedagogies that postulate a less compartmentalized and more integrated way of teaching, we propose a multidisciplinary approach articulated with literature as a possible way of teaching philosophy. Given the long established relations between philosophy and literature, text and speech come out as resource and product of the lessons in the classroom at the same time.
