The aim of this study is to discuss the contributions of dialectical logic to education within the framework of Álvaro Vieira Pinto’s thinking. According to the author, dialectical logic and critical consciousness are inseparable and both concepts assume central relevance in his study. In carrying out the critical and concrete examination of different philosophical conceptions and existential phenomena, such as technique, information and work, the thinker offers authentic and rigorous foundations to reflect on different questions concerning the educational context. In this study, we discuss how these existential phenomena lead us to the question of educational duality, this in turn, according to the philosopher, both engenders and is derived from the antagonisms existing between the classes of society. To overcome the educational duality, the author proposes integral education. He also discusses the issue of coloniality in the context of Brazilian education. We conclude by pointing out the fruitfulness of these reflections for education and the need for systematized studies that address the issue of educational duality and coloniality in the Brazilian educational context.
