This work takes as reference the work “Education: A Treasure to Discover – Educação: Um Tesouro a Descobrir” by Jacques Delors, prepared for UNESCO, on the four pillars of knowledge: learning to know, to do, to live together and to be, being a bibliographic research. The problem that motivated this work is to show that the profound change of the traditional frameworks of human existence puts us before the new commitment to better understand the other social being and the world around us. The general objective is to sensitize people linked to the educational process to realize that the practice of education today is based on the view that the human person is brought to care for external factors, without the proper instigation of the autonomy of reasoning. The pillars have specific objectives: to lead people throughout life education to walk the path of self-knowledge, to develop personality in an integral way; consolidate team spirit, creativity and respect for differences; to awaken from an early age the awareness that an education based on the four pillars of knowledge will form the leaders of the future. The conclusion that closes the work shows that the current evolution of society, opposite the production machine, is demanding new propositures of the absorption of knowledge, making, coexistence and social dimension in this Age of Knowledge.
Keywords: know, do, coexist, be, modify.
