This thesis approaches the problem of the modern education from the reflections of Hannah Arendt in her article The crisis of the Education, a text relatively summarized, but in which involves practically all of her theoretical production in the fields of Philosophy and Politics. The goal is to clarify the main critics that the author directs to the modern education, from her own theoretical references. For Arendt the crisis of the education is a particular manifestation of the political crisis that affects the western civilization since the beginning of the modern times. Despite the relationship between the political crisis and the educational crisis, Arendt defends the separation between the two, in a way that the political matter would not determine the educational, and that the education would not be utilized as a tool of the political, something that have turned very common in the modern societies. The pedagogy has the goal of the "scientifical spirit", a characteristic of the modern era, despite the great evolution that this brought for the educational field, this is not spared by the author, in that it collaborated to break with tradition, a phenomenon that marked the lost of common sense that used to orient the human life on Earth. The lack of a common sense in relation to the world is appointed as one of the fundaments of the modern alienation, that relates directly with the problem of the lack of responsibility of adults in relation to children, the newborns. We have analyzed the article of Arendt searching to subsidize her readings and also the others authors and theories in which Arendt faces in The crisis of the Education.
