Abstract

The article deals with praxis de-historicization in the teaching of philosophy. Presented with the crisis of capital, it is considered relevant to discuss the role of social subject’s praxis. The text addresses the topic by asking: How is social praxis de-historicization characterized? What are the de-historicizing implications of the Delors Report in the teaching of philosophy? The objective is to understand the process of social praxis de-historicization and its implications for the teaching of philosophy. It is methodologically guided by historical-dialectical materialism, based on the works of Marx and Engels (2007), Mészáros (1995), Vázquez (2007), Gadotti (1998) and Gallo (2012). It concludes that the Report reinforces the ideological content of capital, contributing to the process of social praxis de-historicization.
