Towards the Non-Anthropocentric Education Ontology

Abstract

This text is an attempt to develop a non-anthropocentric pedagogy of things, under which a thesis is put up on the necessity of thinking over the education implied by the anthropocen­tric way of thinking about what is social. By the means of references to posthumanism, social studies on science and technology and, in particular, to the theory of an actor-network, a way of thinking about the educational ontology was proposed, allowing to appreciate the relativity, complexity and hybridity of actors inscribed in the most basic level of (not only) educational existence.
