Abstract

The present article focuses on a philosophical approach of pedagogy as a political phenomenon. Moreover, it is our intention to use the Pedagogics/Politics categories to fight the epistemological murders committed by Western Christian philosophy. We refute the separation between Philosophy and Education because philosophy has always had a pedagogical dimension, just as education has always had a philosophical dimension, and in the same vein, we refuse to consider education and politics separately. They are both indeed intertwined in a thread of personal significance that will allow us to overcome the pedagogical Oedipus. The paragraphs that follow therefore represent a provocative reconsideration of political symbolism as a major driving force for human formation and development in its pedagogical dimension. For the objective purpose of this article, politics is hereby understood as the constant struggle to gain and maintain power and force capital amongst all related social agents. The pedagogical dimension, as accordingly depicted here, will therefore represent an endless driving forces in a fragile equilibrium between education, transformation and empowerment. These forces will also serve as a maneuvering to obtain well established values and objectives. There is no neutrality in pedagogy and in politics, as we perceive. Our conclusions are open-ended and can be foreseen as a work in process. Such concluding remarks, moreover, need further collaborative cooperation between all of the above-mentioned stakeholders.
