Abstract

This article exposes Sigmund Freud’s ideas concerning themes which are fundamental to the comprehension of the contemporary man: the psychic constitution; the formation and resolution of mental pathologies; the broad meaning of culture and education as mediating element between man and society. This paper aims to present the analysis proposed by John Dewey regarding the same themes based on the book Human nature and conduct. The comparisons between Freudian and Deweyan speeches are made through the methodology proposed by Chaïm Perelman in Treatise on argumentation. The conclusions suggest that although Dewey disagrees with Freud in many aspects, they both agree on certain issues.
