Education; Human rights; Totalitarianism
The present work intends to analyze the political-philosophical reflections of Hannah Arendt, aiming to understand the genesis of human rights education, in an attempt to identify its formative dimensions. The research path outlined, firstly, investigates the contributions, starting methodologically from the bibliographical study of Arendt's main works, which bring to light the repercussions for education and human rights, based on the cornerstones of education and the foundational validity of human rights. In a second moment, it proposes to analyze the nature of totalitarian education, with the permanence of totalitarian elements, arising from the crisis of the modern world, represented to a large extent by the misfortune bequeathed by the totalitarian regimes that occurred in the 20th century. Subsequently, the aim is to emerge, according to Arendt's perspective, another foundation for anticolonial education in human rights, beyond the normative framework, with the task of understanding it as a new perspective, ensuring that the binding promise of protecting human dignity lies in everyone's responsibility for the common world, based on human plurality.
