Abstract:
This article proposes a reading of the political and educational project of the Panecastic Philosophy developed by Joseph Jacotot (1770-1840), based on the maxim ‘everything is in everything’, to address the intellectual emancipation, in opposition to the omnipresence of power and the watchful eye of the master over the student of Panoptism. Based on the analysis of historical sources of the Brazilian Empire, such as the 19th century periodical press, the text aims at presenting the ruptures of Jacotot's pedagogical thought before the institutionalized logic of the inequality of intelligences in the rites of school instruction. To do so, it focuses on the introduction of the Panecastic Philosophy in the Brazilian Empire, bringing visibility to the echoes that resonate as background, for example, in Paulo Freire's pedagogy of dialogicity.
