Philosophy, Society in crisis, Education, Sacred HopeAbstract
The present text sheds light on reflection about a society in crisis "that is announced", being the capture of how we think in relation to Philosophy and the use that is made of reason, a necessary condition for this purpose. This way of thinking is reflected in all dimensions of human life, with particular mention of how education, politics, law, and justice are viewed as conditions for achieving a more dignified humanity. Hence, in this sense of philosophizing about our reality, we have proposed the challenge of (re) thinking our (Angolan) society from the perspective of "Sacred Hope" reflected in education. The reflection starts from the question: how to rethink, philosophically, our Angolan society from the "Sacred Hope," whose content is reflected in education? It is a question that fundamentally raises the discussion about the educational possibilities for realizing the individual in the Angolan context, characterized by levels of illiteracy and widespread poverty. This situation leads us to resort to the "Sacred Hope" which, in the circumstances in which it was born, as a thought-out ideal, represented the dream of achieving a different and dignified condition of life for the Angolan person, to, as a Philosophy, understood as a new perspective of life grounded in the light of reason, and question its reach in the present. Thus, if Philosophy is a questioning of any (social) reality, then it makes sense to admit that, without Philosophy, a society enters into existential crisis and, in this sense, it becomes imperative to rethink it from the perspective of education as sacred hope
