There are important paradoxes related to the understanding of human beings. The problem that this article focuses on is the existence of paradoxes concerning human beings. We select two paradoxes for this research: 1. To become a whole human being considering that a human being is already whole, 2. Achievement of freedom by human beings who are already born free. The objectives are to bring this discussion to the realm of education and to contribute for educators to think more deeply about their students since they are human beings. These two paradoxes are analyzed from an educational perspective. The theoretical foundation is mainly composed of Maritain’s philosophy and von Hildebrand’s philosophy. Both ask about the human being and offer elements not only to philosophy itself, but also for education. The methodological approach is Ricoeur’s hermeneutics. We have concluded that these two paradoxes can be solved through education. Research about this subject must continue.
