The article identifies four elements in Freirean pedagogy which are of special relevance for present-day pedagogy: a) the rebirth and cultivation of utopian thinking; b) radicalism as foundation for pedagogical-ethical action; c) dialogue as a methodological principle; e) the liberation of pedagogy. The "echoes" of Angicos help to articulate different positions, not renouncing to work in the frontiers of different fields of knowledge and epistemological perspectives; at the same time, they challenge the need to understand the social conditions in which educational practices are rooted and in which are created the conditions for the emergence of new feasibilities.
