Abstract

The objective of the present text is to establish a kind of comparative exercise between, on one hand, education anchored in an instrumental reason that conforms with the idea of the self of knowledge with a constituted, permanently equal identity and, on the other hand, another education, associated with the subject transfigured by truth, becoming another, different than the self. This way, spirituality is taken as a key for the understanding of education in the relationship of the subject with truth, in a perspective that, instead of seeking to discover educational truth or purify knowledge between true and false, seeks to teach how to think and, more than that, teaches disobedience as the realization of a spiritual practice.
