Abstract

This text sets out to discuss how the maternal function is a condition for the appearance of a psychic subject founded on the symbolic, considering that through such a function a biological body can be transformed into a human one starting from the symbolic registrations given by the Other. We have placed education as the result of these symbolic registrations, which make possible the transmission of a necessary feeling of filiation, vital for the advent of the subject. When considering the maternal function as foundational for education, we also discussed how the educational act is understood as having been structured exactly from primordial experiences, without which our existence would be compromised. In this way our text sets out to demonstrate how education is the result of the maternal function and how the educational act is a derivation of such a function.
