Hannah Arendt

Carlos Eduardo Gomes Nascimento

The book investigates the relationship between the notion of education in Hannah Arendt's thought and the place of human stories, which create a sense of friendship between generations. The philosopher conceives education as a space of mediation and care between generations, in which the oldest has the responsibility to introduce children and young people, the new ones, into the common world. Hannah Arendt sought to understand the impasse that arises from modernity, in the face of the rupture of tradition, the destruction of the web of human plurality and the shattering of authority. In the essay The Crisis in Education, the author addresses the impacts that the break between the past and the future has had on education. Based on this problematic, the question formulated here is: in what sense, in the face of the crisis in education, is it still possible to tell stories and reconcile the bonds of friendship between generations? The object explored is the meaning of storytelling in education as a communication that establishes a fraternal dialogue between generations. In this context, we address the possibility of thinking about the idea of education that narrates experiences in time, creating a bond of friendship between generations in the common world, even with the rupture of tradition.
