This article continues the development of a Project of Teaching Research in studies about Paulo Freireand his work with education as a practice of the freedom of the person so that it has an increasingdevelopment of liberation of its fears and obstacles of the excluding society; Freire wants to giveconditions of knowledge and life that are more dignified and according to a reality that is more justand in which all people can participate in the cultural assets of their society. Besides the search for aliberation, it is fundamental that the fear of this freedom be overcome; with education, not in themodel already planned, defined and characterized by the domineering, but considering its reality, itsmiseries and its attitude of resignation, in the search of contributions and with the purpose of seeing 141Colloquium Humanarum, vol. 15, n.

Likewise, thinking of a South Americanphilosophy and posture, Rodolfo Kusch developed a thought that emphasizes the recognition ofhimself and the value that exists in this Latin American society. Commonly, our education andformation have been built on foreign and foreign models in which the people have discarded a cultureof this ground to fulfill duties determined by others; there is constantly the overlap of foreign culturescrushing the local culture. So there is a call for the South American people to look at themselves againand see their importance, their value, their culture, so that from there, from what has already beenbuilt, they take up their dignity and open themselves to a 'to do' from what is and what has alreadybuilt. Thus, looking at the two authors, their thinking and through theoretical and bibliographicalresearch, our objective is to verify the concepts that are approaching and to give contributions toLatin American philosophical thought in what concerns to education as a formative process that isgiven to from reality itself.
