Abstract

This article presents an interview with Professor Claudia W. Ruitenberg on agonistic democratic education. Based on her seminar presented at the VI International Conference on Philosophy of Education and Critical Pedagogy, held in November 2023 in Porto Alegre, Brazil, her lecture entitled The Discipline of Agonistic Democratic Education in a Polarized World serves as the basis for an interview focused on the dimensions of agonistic discipline. A set of eight questions was presented with the aim of understanding in detail her contribution to agonistic models in times of social and political polarization.
