This paper aims of is to present Richard Rorty’s Philosophy of Education,
through his analysis of the education as being divided into two distinct
processes: socialization and individualization. Thereafter, it is intended
to show two critiques, of conservadorism and elitism, that are addressed
to these processes. Finally, a redescription of the Rorty’s positions will be
proposed, by assigning a reformist character to its apparent conservatism
and a private character to the supposedly elitist individualization, in order
to weaken the strength of those critics
