This thesis reflects on how a philosophical approach to learning could be developed, its importance in the current context and the aims that justify this proposal as a way of teaching. The analysis explores Nietzsche s and Gadamer s work, authors who start from a perspectivist and interpretative standpoint on knowledge. However, they wrote in different historical periods and, consequently, developed different educational proposals. A panoramic introduction on the hermeneutical perspective intends to contextualize and to clarify the historical and philosophical connections between both authors. The next stage of the analysis is to confront Nietzsche s and Gadamer s ideas about language and the prior knowledge that configures our historical tradition, both of which constitute fundamental features for any analysis of knowledge and education. The concept of education (formation) then establishes the focus of the rest of this work. Nietzsche s and Gadamer s proposals for education are contrasted in relation to their contextualized analyses and the objectives each one defends for education. Based on this discussion, a decision becomes possible about which philosophical approach is justified as a basis for teaching nowadays. The thesis then delimits such a philosophical approach and emphasizes which aspects and practices should constitute the learning experience that appropriates the proposed philosophical approach as an ideal.
