Abstract

The discipline of philosophy has not been a constant presence in the basic education curriculum throughout the history of Brazilian education. This inconsistency was the reason that triggered the need to conduct an investigation into the factors that determine its inclusion/exclusion in the Brazilian High School. The survey was conducted through a bibliographic and documental research in order to analyze the historical development of the discipline of philosophy in that level of education. The time period delimitation of the research was from the Colonial Brazil period to the insertion of Brazil in the neoliberal political-economic context. The study revealed that the oscillation of the presence of philosophy in the curricula of schools in Brazil was influenced by the needs of the productive sector, as the formation requirements that were started within the economic system.
