More quotes by Paulo Freire
Only through communication can human life hold meaning.
Paulo Freire
True generosity consists precisely in fighting to destroy the causes which nourish false charity.
Paulo Freire
There is, in fact, no teaching without learning.
Paulo Freire
Freedom is acquired by conquest, not by gift. It must be pursued constantly and responsibly. Freedom is not an ideal located outside of man nor is it an idea which becomes myth. It is rather the indispensable condition for the quest for human completion.
Paulo Freire
... there are moments in which the teacher, as the authority talks to the learners, says what must be done, establishes limits without which the very freedom of learners is lost in lawlessness, but these moments, in accordance with the political options of the educator, are alternated with others in which the educator speaks with the learner.
Paulo Freire
To study is not to consume ideas, but to create and re-create them.
Paulo Freire
Whereas banking education anesthetizes and inhibits creative power, problem-posing education involves a constant unveiling of reality. The former attempts to maintain the submersion of consciousness the latter strives for the emergence of consciousness and critical intervention in reality.
Paulo Freire
How can the oppressed, as divided, unauthentic beings, participate in developing the pedagogy of their liberation?
Paulo Freire
It is necessary that the weakness of the powerless is transformed into a force capable of announcing justice. For this to happen, a total denouncement of fatalism is necessary. We are transformative beings and not beings for accommodation.
Paulo Freire
The behavior of the oppressed is a prescribed behavior, following as it does the guidelines of the oppressor.
Paulo Freire
The former oppressors do not feel liberated. On the contrary, they genuinely consider themselves to be oppressed.
Paulo Freire
The role of the educator is one of tranquil possession of certitude in regard to the teaching of not only contents but also of 'correct thinking.'
Paulo Freire
Any attempt to treat people as semihumans only dehumanizes them.
Paulo Freire
Critical reflection on practice is a requirement of the relationship between theory and practice. Otherwise theory becomes simply blah, blah, blah, and practice, pure activism.
Paulo Freire
Education is freedom. Education will teach you how to do it yourself as opposed to asking someone else to do it for you. And around it our own town... Freemanville!
Paulo Freire
some may think that to affirm dialogue—the encounter of women and men in the world in order to transform the world—is naively and subjectively idealistic. there is nothing, however, more real or concrete than people in the world and with the world, than humans with other humans.
Paulo Freire
The greatest humanistic and historical task of the oppressed: to liberate themselves.
Paulo Freire
I am dealing with people and not with things. And, because I am dealing with people, I cannot refuse my wholehearted and loving attention, even in personal matters, where I see that a student is in need of such attention.
Paulo Freire
No reality transforms itself.
Paulo Freire
Education as the exercise of domination stimulates the credulity of the students.
Paulo Freire
