The purpose of this thesis is to present the imagination in its radical dimension, exposing it as an emancipatory formative medium, given the elements that characterize it and that were silenced by the process of its subordination to instrumental reason. This general objective unfolds into the following specific objectives: to problematize the institutions that form the imagination in its subordinate dimension; locate the displacements of meaning pertinent to the imagination in their radicality in the process of marginalization of the imagination, making use of the work of Cornelius Castoriadis; show the dimensional plurality of the human/world relationship in its do-being, emphasizing the liberating elements of displaced creativity; demonstrate the relationship of the imagination with the education which intends to educate for autonomy; present what would be a sensitive education. The methodology was structured from philosophical theoretical orientations pertinent to the works of Cornelius Castoriadis and Theodor Adorno. From the latter, we use more specifically the problematization of what would be the nonconcept and the constellation of meaning as motors of the displacement of meanings that would facilitate the localization of the visibility spaces of the imagination in their non-subordinate rifts. In the case of Castoriadis, all the guiding sense was used, which aims to indicate how to proceed with an exposing problematization of institutional weaving in its magmatic face. These orientations helped to set up a critical-reflexive historiographic problematizing meta-space that brought to light the dimension of imagination in its reflexive deliberative formative radicalism. As concluding aspects, we emphasize the contribution of the research to the construction of an education focused on autonomy, by shifting the formative sense in such a way that exposes a new possible horizon to the place of imagination in a sensitive education, making noticeable the urgency of liberation of collective creativity as means of promoting a plural reality.
