JARDIM COMO METÁFORA: PRINCÍPIOS DA FILOSOFIA DA EDUCAÇÃO

Abstract

This article aims, firstly, to make some considerations about the metaphor of the garden, understood as a human and historical construction, culturally determined. In the introduction, we exposed the various types of gardens with the aim of understanding their different modalities, to conceive them as an art that resembles that of educating. Subsequently, secondly, we present the ideas of Montaigne, Rousseau and Nietzsche to draw relevant analogies to this metaphor, aware that this topic is far from being exhausted. Finally, we conclude that if the garden is not a forest, therefore the process of education for insertion in the world of culture is necessary, on the other hand, a morbid artificiality should not be forced, a universe with the appearance of order that does not reflect the freedom, creativity, and human spontaneity.
