Abstract
The present text is a sowing of questions about the possibility of thinking about some aspects of Afro-Brazilian culture within the teaching of philosophy. The candomblés make us question, throw ideas about the “we” that inhabits Brazilian culture. Thus, “What do the candomblés make us think when we think of the teaching of philosophy in Brazil today? is one of the questions that moves and gives us the batuques for our writing. We present candomblés as forces of another thought, a cosmoperception which, like some Western philosophies, also allows us to put into question and think reality. We question the pluriversal character of black religion and its importance for the reality that we live in Brazil, a country that has as one of its bases the African people. Our pretention is, above all, to provide an opening for various ways of questioning what we are and how we are from the space called “teaching of philosophy”.
