A RELEVÂNCIA DO ENSINO DE SOCIOLOGIA E DE FILOSOFIA PARA A FORMAÇÃO DOS JOVENS NO SÉCULO XXI.

This paper seeks to question this "pedagogical prejudice", making room for a debate addressed to the understanding of the sociological and philosophical knowledge as constitutive knowledge of one of the main social functions of the school, namely: the education for citizenship. We bring also the discussion of the specificity of Sociology and Philosophy in the School, including such disciplines as members of an educational project founded to build a "prudent knowledge for a decent life," as teaches us today, Boaventura de Sousa Santos (2006).
