<![CDATA[The philosophy of humanism in education places human beings as the central focus and ultimate goal of the educational process. Education is viewed not merely as an effort to transfer knowledge, but as a process of humanization that enables individuals to think, feel, and act freely and responsibly. Paulo Freire is a prominent figure in the humanist philosophy of education who introduced the concept of liberating education. According to Freire, education should serve as a means of fostering critical consciousness to transform oppressive social structures. Through a dialogical approach, learners are encouraged to actively understand reality and derive meaning from their own lived experiences. This article aims to describe the principles of humanist philosophy in Freire’s thought and its relevance to modern education. The study employs a literature review method by examining various relevant academic sources. The findings indicate that Freire’s humanistic ideas remain highly relevant today, particularly in developing education that promotes freedom of thought, social justice, and respect for human dignity.]]>
