This article aims to analyze undermining aspects of moral autonomy of individuals within organizations, particularly in the school context, and its relation with democratic construction. The starting point is the relation between diversity and human rights, taken as "prophetic historical knowledge", according to Bobbio. The questioning proposed in this study is based on relations between individuals and groups, as proposed by Lorenz and Bobbio; between organizations and their members, according to Weber and Habermas; and organizational practices and processes and resistance and autonomy abilities, according to Kelman, Moore-Jr and Adorno. In view of these relations, it seeks to explore education possibilities towards the promotion of individual autonomy and democracy.
