The article aims to systematize some reflections on the relationship between education and democratic society based on the thinking Martha Nussbaum, (2017; 2005) and Gert Biesta (2013). The text reconstructs the position of the two authors, showing that although there are some divergences, both defend the presence of the humanities in education as essential for the survival of democracy. As a counterpoint to this position, the text briefly analyzes the reform of Brazilian high school, produced by Provisional Decree in 2016 and incorporated into the Law of Directives and Bases of Education (LDB - Law nº 9.394, of December 20, 1996) in 2017; this reform weakens curricular components such as philosophy and sociology in a specific way and the humanities in general.
