Filosofia e Educação, Campinas, v. 5, n. 1, p. 130-155, abr./set. 2013.  1984-9605http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/20539This paper discusses affect and will in educational work and their connections with the “pedagogical voluntarism” presented in conceptions and policies for children's education in Brazil. It employs Spinoza's doctrine of affects and also the concept of alienated work in Marx's Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 to writing about the sociological profile of Brazil's childhood teachers. Its final remarks emphasize the importance of Spinoza's critique of “absolute mastery of affects” and of current work conditions in which teaching takes place, presenting points of similarity – and one possible difference – with the Mészáros´s search for an education “beyond capital”.porAcesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Mastery of affectsDomínio dos afetosLienated workSpinozaMastery of affectsAlienated workArtigo
