"Reality as process, as transformation, rather than as static entity- thinking which does not separate itself from one action".
"The unfinished character of human beings and the transformational character of reality necessiate that education be an ongoing activity... the pursuit of full humanity, however, cannot be carried out in isolation or individualism, but only in fellowship and solidarity; therefore it cannot unfold in the antagonistic relations between oppressors and oppressed. No one can be authentically human while he [or she] prevents others from being so". |
