BRISKIEVICZ, Danilo Arnaldo. Ontology of singularity and education in Hannah Arendt: A preparation for the world. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2018, vol.31, n.1, pp.79-93. ISSN 0871-9187.  https://doi.org/10.21814/rpe.12082.

We investigate in Hannah Arendt's thinking the possibility of an ontology of singularity directly related to education, as protomoment of the ontology of plurality, initiated with the birth and enlarged by the arrival to the common world, to the space of action. We highlight some points of her political theory interrelating them with notes on education of the text The Crisis of Education, 1958. We present education as a privileged space of formation of the life of the mind, essential, for being initial, in time and space for the full exercise of the active vita. The ontology of the singularity is based on six points in which it is necessary: ​​to welcome, to prepare and to include the singular ones; to create spaces to promote discourse, to value differences, and to preserve tradition. We present two antimodels for the ontology of singularity: in school education, the concentration camps, by the prerogative of the use of violence and dumbness; for the pupils, Adolf Eichmann, due to his emptiness of thought and incapacity to act creatively in the world. We propose that the duration of education is proportional to the narrative creativity of tradition by the authority of teachers
