Abstract

Ever since the middle of the first decade of the 2000s, the debate on integral education
has been intensified, in Brazil. Those in favor of the “work as an educational principle” have pursued
epistemological foundations on a Marxian conception of education; different social sectors of liberalism
maintained the same, in its essence, attached to the relation between education and moral. Some
individuals, though, based on ideological reasons, without clear explanations of their grounds. This paper
aims at demonstrating epistemological and political foundations on the definitions of education and
integral education. That was carried out by the use of Historical-Critical Analysis (SAVIANI, 2003;
MACIEL e BRAGA, 2008), methodologically based on Dialectical and Historical Materialism (MARX,
1983), to investigate those concepts pathway. Because of the method, we have started from the analysis
of I International texts (MARX, 1976; BAKUNIN, 2003) so that we could reach Proudhon (2007) and
then set clues that point to the French Revolution (CONDORCET, 1792; LEPELLETIER, 1793), which
directs to Dewey (1979) and Teixeira (1959). As a result of this adventure, the following conclusions have
been set: from the French Revolution, the concepts on education are grounded on intellectual, physical
and moral dimensions (except for Marx); when it comes to public education, all of them take into
consideration education for work, nonetheless, liberals focus on subaltern work, whereas socialists focus
on emancipation. Such difference implies antagonistic concepts on education and integral education.
