• Abstract:

  This article seeks to present the educational thought of Anísio Teixeira within the scope of Brazilian social thought, by stating that his investigation started from the foundations that built the studies of Brazilian social formation from the 1930s onwards. For this, we will use the studies of Antônio Candido to demarcate the thematic phases around the enigma of the formation of the nation, a central theme in the debates of Brazilian researchers. The birth of the Brazilian bourgeoisie in the molds that Florestan Fernandes calls the composite pattern of bourgeois hegemony erupted in a strong process of modernization based on national development. This singular form of the bourgeoisie was permanently questioned by Teixeira in his writings and he dialogued with authors about the social limitations caused by the autocratic domination of the elites. Our intention is to present an Anísio beyond the debates of the new school, relocating historically as one of the precursors of the defense of education as a fundamental right of the citizen.
