Abstract

The imagery of autonomy has a long past behind it and still concentrates major attention in education. Nevertheless, due to its redefinition in terms of self-sufficiency, self-care, “I entrepreneur”, individual responsibility and mandatory self-determination, it is questionable whether these redefinitions should be promoted by education, because apparently they are not articulated with the bright side of that imagery , that is, with the freedom and emancipation of mankind. Our goal, after an historic journey to deepen in the theme of imagery of autonomy, consists in analyzing the lights and the shadows which currently involve that imagery, and questioning, in regard to education, if it is still worthwhile to invest in that imagery and in what way.
