This book presents the crisis in education as a moment of dialogue with the crisis. This work also has the ultimate aim of producing didactic material, being a programmed instruction manual. The text is divided into two parts. The first deals with the crisis in modernity, totalitarianism as a problem, in its central aspects, analysing two possible responses to it: the ready-made and prejudiced responses to the crisis and the responses that emerge from understanding, that is, from the endless dialogue with the voices that participate in the crisis. The second moment is dedicated to accompanying a philosophy class for administration, proposing teaching material that aims to problematise the concepts presented by an instruction manual and a moment of debate. The manual is at the end of the book as an appendix.
