Equality as a Baseline

Abstract

 Equality is a baseline to reach intellectual emancipation. It can only be guaranteed if people follow pedagogical modes that distribute power, that is to say, democratic modes. This type of aulic rhizomatic relationship enables the circulation of intensities, flow of wishes, word and action. Democratic processes are ways to address the disciplinar power of authoritarian processes through discipline, other thoughts, other times, another authority, other links. Democratic processes are essential to the very same social change process, and social change becomes a necessary condition of a policy which moves towards a less hierarchical, more radical and more democratic social order.
