Abstract

This paper focuses on the contributions from Henri Wallon about the relationship between cognition and affectivity in the education. It also defines the complex interdependency between affective and cognitive dimensions of such theory and emphasizes the notion of engaged person as a fundamental synthesis to understanding the relationship between af­fectivity and cognition in the educational field. This article also highlights the importance of dialectical and humanist view of integral person for educational practices and it incorporates the idea of “fundamental circu­larity” of Francisco Varela aiming to updating the view of Wallon about non-separateness between human beings and world. Keywords: affectivity; cognition; education; Henri Wallon; fundamental circularity.
