The aesthetic reception’s comunication of the sublime and its possibilities between knowledges and school practices

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to discuss the possibilities of conceiving, at the present time, the educational practice as having an aesthetic dimension in its processes of transmission and reception of systematic knowledge, as a means of political resistance to the instrumental rationality to which reflection on the meanings of this activity has become irrelevant. To this end, we resort to the work of Kant and Jean Francois Lyotard, particularly at their reflections on the aesthetics of the sublime, in order to analyze the possible correlation between artistic production and reception aesthetics and communicative process comprising the school-teaching relationship, focusing on the aesthetic implications of the teaching that they might become objects of philosophical reflection of the teacher.
