This is a text written after the death of Maurice Bazin, in the context of an articulation of tribute to this scientist-educator. We seek to characterize his trajectory from the perspective of cultural practice for the freedom of the oppressed, explaining his productions within the scope of the Science for the People movement and the liberating educational references used by him. Our analytical focus highlights the influence of his scientific, cultural and socioeducational practices in the training and professional performance of the the both authors of this manuscript, as university professors of sciences. We emphasize the Espaço Ciência Viva as his main educational action in Brazil. At the end, as an exercise in cultural synthesis, we highlight formative potentialities for the scientific and technological education area from the perspective of education as a practice of freedom.
