THE WELL LIVINGAS A LIFE PHILOSOPHY: AND ITS CONTRIBUTIONS TO INTERCULTURAL EDUCATION

Abstract

We adopted the article o Bem Viverandino (andeanwell living) as a possibility of thinking about it as a life philosophy, placing it in the philosophical-educational debate for visualizing contributions to an intercultural education that could be able to recognize different identities, contrasts and rationalities. The objective of this paper is to reflect about possible openings and dialogues that can contribute to educational studies and projects that are instituting critical perspectives of education through different cultures, in order to decentralizeconceptions, ethnocentric discourses and practices, cognitive and monocultural that reproduce alienation and a lack of criticism, denying the corporal, spiritual dimensions and inventiveness of the contemporary generations. The philosophical hermeneutics was used, as it is critical, therefore as a reference for this reflection and dialogue with some authors who offered theoretical-methodological subsidies that sustain the debate of intercultural in Education such as: Paulo Freire, Vera Maria Candau and Reinaldo Fleuri among others. It was concluded that although hegemonic thought remains in the school culture, the openness to the intercultural into the educational-philosophical thought has become inevitable, increasing the challenge and, at the same time, increasing the sources held in cultural and epistemological different perspectives of education.
