This paper presents an interdisciplinary question starting from the curriculum planning approach as a tool and a path to the fulfillment of a society and a democracy ideal. To that end, it goes through the interdisciplinary forms, the importance of cultural contends for the curriculum, the influence of modernity into the curricular question and points out some paths for the Brazilian teaching, by means of education and school. Still in this path, it also shows and uses some authors’ ideas about the theme, such as the ones from Santomé, Japiassu, Veiga-Neto and Moreira.
