O problema da história como progresso, visando ao aperfeiçoamento das disposições humanas para um fim cosmopolita

Abstract

The present text seeks to understand the concept of education, according to Immanuel Kant. Will be approached his conception of History as progress and the construction of each man, with individual progress, which only becomes possible together and with each succeeding generation. Kant insists on the importance of the development of human dispositions, on the other hand the philosopher Walter Benjamin criticizes History as progress, stating the existence of an illusion of this path towards progress. The History marks important events that must be remembered according to Benjamin. In this way we intend to investigate the way of Kant to think of History as progress. Discipline will be a very important tool in this course, so, at birth each should be educated to make good use of his own reason. Kant states that man will only be a true man, by submitting to the educational process.
