Towards a philosophical experience: Contributions to teaching Philosophy in a public high school against barbarianism
This work has as mainly point to open possibilities for philosophical experiences during the philosophy classes in public high school. It is an attempt to resist the impoverishment of the experience and the advance of barbarism at schools towards new experiences that are more significant to the formation and improvement of young citizens in high school. Our starting point is the conception of barbarism described by Walter Benjamin to, according to this, know the consequences of the experience at schools. In this sense, we seek to reflect on the possibility of promoting a teaching of philosophy that can, at the same time, prevent the spread of barbarism at schools and enable situations in the space of philosophy classes that favor the advent of philosophical experiences. Therefore, the research intends to highlight types of experiences found in public schools and know what are the possible relations they establish with the barbarism present in our contemporary society. Barbarism that, when expanding, supports and articulates technical rationality and the scientific method in the consolidation of the current economic domain, ambitions to convert life into merchandise. Thus, the teaching of philosophy will present itself as resistance, as deviation, as profanity, as openness to new experiences, therefore, experiences contrary to those to which barbarism conditions us.
