The formative role of the Lógos as argued speech

This paper examines the formative role of lógos, understood as argued speech, by exploring therelationships between rationality, reasonableness, speech, and education. To this end, we conducted atheoretical review based on bibliographical research within the field of Philosophy of Education. We beginby defining education as a process of human formation—specifically, the development of beings capable ofspeaking and acting. The argument is structured in two parts: first, a reconstruction of the concept of lógosin Jürgen Habermas' thought; second, an investigation of its origins in Ancient Greek thought. We proposethat, in both contexts, lógos can be understood as argued speech, and that its formative significance liesin its role in the humanization of individuals and the establishment of a shared political sphere. https://doi.org/10.21723/riaee.v20i00.1918602
