Race, Identity, and Education in Brazil

Even though the question of racism, in particular in Latin America and Africa, has been rendered problematic for decades by theorists from diverse areas of Human Sciences, philosophical studies on the subject appear to be rare.The following article is based on specific arguments surrounding the issue of racism, as given by various thinkers.We have been careful to choose authors whom we can consider, each in his own way, co-responsible for structuring contemporary western society, whether it be regarding the way that states, the justice system or ethical-political systems are organized.Based on these authors, we analyze a political element of philosophical theories, highlighting that their theoretical constructions assume a certain conception -the racist, as we see it -of the human being, which is reflected in the very conception of social organization.We then analyze how a similar phenomenom can be verified by Hegelianism, a line of thought used as the starting point for a number of the most relevant philosophers since the be beginning of the 21st century.We thus conclude, with a critical post-colonist profile regarding this theoretical norm -the concealed racist -that it was established as a Eurocentric philosophical corpus, that to this day continues to influence social organization.
