摘要:The study thematizes new horizons to think education on contemporary world from the modern and postmodern frameworks implied in the idea of social justice, seeking to unfold implications to think the sense of teaching in the school context. In general terms, the study is based on the defense of a complex thinking, able to allow the emergence of new forms of sensitivity and rationality to educational question, which could mean a broad dimension to the idea of social justice, as well as spectrum of what constitutes the teaching activity. The teaching rethinking in the school context involves the understanding of its dynamic, contradictory and complex character, which means to indicate its involvement with problems of social and historical world and its relations with the universe of sciences, subjectivities and the world of the job. The involved senses in the idea of social justice challenge educators not only to understand the course of the events of the modern / contemporary world in these four spheres of the human world, but fundamentally reconfigure and evaluate their modes of critical intervention in educational reality, in order to combat global (in)justice and contingents that exacerbates capitalism.
