ABOUT THE INSEPARABILITY BETWEEN THE WORK AND EDUCATION CATEGORIES

Abstract

The objective of this article is to draw the fundamental outlines of the ontological relation between the categories labor and education. From the theoretical formulations of Marx, Lukács and Mészáros, are established some philosophical grounds of the explanation of labor, understood both as foundational element, as the category that makes possible the emergence of the social being, and process that enables the complexification of this new kind of being. From these fundamental indications, follows the explanation that the mankind’s formative, educational process (understood in its broader sense, as humanization) is constituted of the accumulation of the sociohistorical processes of labor, historically related and articulated. However, historically, that is, from the being already made social, human, it is no longer possible to speak of the process of labor without the direct mention to the educational processes.
