Abstract
This commentary paper dialogues with the paper “Facing neoliberalism through dialogic spaces as sites of hopes in science education: experiences of two self-organised communities” and deals with some issues raised by its authors. We present an episode to engage in the theme of dialogue, analysing its possibilities. We discuss what we consider fundamental aspects of dialogue and human development: the “insuppressibility of the ideological dimension of knowledge production”, the “inalienable condition of being agentive”, and the “inalienable collective nature of human life”.
