Abstract

Is education a human right? If so, what are the rational justifications that can establish such a right to substantiate axiological and legal framework that organizes our societies? From these questions, the article examines three different articulated tensions. We first, present the concept of education as a tension between socialization and humanization. Secondly, it deepens the tension between the legal and axiological expressions of the right to education. Finally, there is also an argument about the strengths and weaknesses of the educational process as a tension in which we must understand the potential of education as a human right. Using benchmarks such as Kant, Durkheim, Arent, Freire, and Brandão Curtain, the article presents a rationale for ethical-philosophical education as a Human Right.
