This paper is focused on Paulo Freire’s contributions to a Critical Pedagogyabout the question “Emancipatory education: the influence of Paulo Freire on the globalcitizenship” or “The influence of Paulo Freire on an education towards freedom andautonomy”. I need to talk about these questions not just as word sentences, as sentenceswithout content, but as words/sentences, which may transform the World giving us areason to be in terms of politics, ethics, and philosophy. I would analyze the first questionis several parts, going back and for in order to demonstrate step by step that there isan ideological proposition embedded on this question that refuses a whole idea which iscoherent and important in the field of the true Critical Pedagogy, a freirean politicalethical-transformative perspective towards freedom and autonomy.
