Abstract

The aim of the paper is to develop the idea that we need to invest in Philosophy teaching as discernment production tool. The hypothesis is that the discernment would be the basic capacity that one learns in order to act with the thought, with the actions and attitudes to himself and to the world. For this purpose, the text elects three levels of current issues that challenging the discernment by the Philosophy teaching: the experience of the subjects with the capitalistic and consumer society, the homogenization of subjective potential and finally the colonization of sense of powerlessness to change the social reality itself. The thought of Deleuze and Guattari are called as analytical background of this proposal.
