Aesthetics is a historical factor that is very present in our daily lives, but little discussed when it comes to education. The inseparability of educational concepts with aesthetic values is a premise from a perspective of Historical and Dialectical Materialism, since values are intrinsic to any parameter and dimension of contemporary society. In this thesis, aesthetic values were discussed and articulated with the concept of Environmental Education, which, in a critical, dialectical and transformative vision, understands and defends that the subjects' worldview and their social, cultural and historical factors must be the foundation of the knowledge construction process in educational institutions. In this way, based on bibliographical research in the literature of the area and experiences, analysis categories were constructed (authentic praxis, otherness and critical-humanizing sensitivity) for the investigation of examples of research on the subject, to analyze the relevance of the assertions, associated with aesthetic values, in the educational context. To this end, research was carried out in educational databases, books and articles that discussed this subject, thus allowing us to investigate a field little explored in academia. The works analyzed had some elements that consider aesthetic aspects. However, there was no explicit and, often, implicit contemplation of all aspects in the texts. That said, it is understood that the theme involving the relationship of Critical Environmental Education, from a Freirean perspective, based on Historical and Dialectical Materialism that addresses aesthetic issues, is still scarce in academia. Therefore, other studies are suggested that look at the context and seek to report the factors of oppression, exploitation, exclusion, vulnerabilities and wide open inequalities of the current social system, and also announce propositions for social transformations that education has the potential to provide, based on authentic praxis, in critical-humanizing sensitivity and in the alterity between subjects, that aim at the emancipation of subjects and humanization.
