Abstract
The aim of this paper is analyzing philosophically the criticism of Pierre Bourdieu to the idealistic conceptions of reason and human being. This critique is applied to some topics of Theory of Education. So we have done a comprehensive review of specialized literature. The findings point to the impossibility of understanding education as separated from its socialmaterial component, and thus it is always necessary to include operationally the constitutive social and historical dimension of person. Besides, in opposition to the idealism of the modern Cartesian subject, it is necessary that both, the educator and the researcher, be conscious of their own social component.Downloads
