The purpose of this academic writing was to study an aspect of Paulo Freire's theory which is the Gnosiological Cycle, answering the question: does Paulo Freire's gnosiological cycle support the proposition of educating as a practice of freedom, promoting the emancipation of the subject ? This problem led us to the formulation of a hypothesis about the core of this research, which is that the gnosiological cycle in Paulo Freire aims at the emancipation of the subject. As a result, we conclude that the gnosiological cycle aims at the emancipation of the subject because it provides the necessary tools for the subject to understand his reality and transform it, acting in a conscious and critical way, reflecting on the conditions in which he lives, questioning the problems and contradictions existing in reality, seeking to understand them in their complexity from a critical, reflective and transforming stance. The methodological resource used was the hermeneutic approach that operates in the field of history of education and is configured as an interpretation method that seeks to understand the texts from the context in which they were written. We also used bibliographical research as an important instrument in the field of education, since from theoretical materials already developed, the researcher focuses on responding to his concerns by improving knowledge through a scientific investigation of already published works. In this case, the works that supported this research were: Educação como Prática da Liberdade, Extensão ou Comunicação, Medo e Ousadia e Pedagogia da Esperança. As a general objective, we seek to understand the contribution of Paulo Freire's gnosiological cycle to the emancipation of the subject and as specific objectives: understanding how knowledge occurs within the gnosiological cycle and in which conditions it is processed; to analyze the importance of awareness, discussion and dialogue / language for the emancipation of the subject; understanding the educator-educating relationship as subjects of learning and perceive problematizing education as a generator of new reflections and actions.Acesso AbertoCiclo gnosiológico - NatalEmancipação do sujeito - NatalGnosiologia - NataldoctoralThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::EDUCACAO
