The present research article includes the analysis and results derived from an investigation about the aesthetic dimension in the teaching of Philosophy; more specifically, with students from the Marco Fidel Suarez School middle school in Medellin, Colombia. As the main goal, the research aimed to identify how aesthetics practices impact the teaching of philosophy when sensitizing around the ideological diversity in the Colombian post-conflict; to conduct it some inquiries were made about the perceptions of young people in the face of the post-conflict, and observations about the perceptual changes involved in observing films in the area of philosophy. This study had a descriptive scope and was based on a case study research method with a qualitative paradigm. The techniques used were a semi-structured interview and a participant observation. Among the most representative findings that we gathered were the usefulness and effectiveness of incorporating new educational approaches to dynamize the teaching and learning processes; originating by using didactics and technological aids, which demonstrated functionality during the teaching of philosophical contents.
