Abstract

CONCEICAO, Verônica Alves dos Santos  and  PORTO, Cristiane de Magalhães. THE SCIENCE IN LUIS ANTONIO VERNEY: SOME CONTEMPLATION. Eccos Rev. Cient. [online]. 2020, n.55, e13274.  Epub Feb 03, 2024. ISSN 1983-9278.  https://doi.org/10.5585/eccos.n55.13274.

The study is based on the thought of Luis Antonio Verney (1713-1792) in his work The True Method of Study (1746). Its purpose is to analyze how science is presented in the Verneynian proposal to reformulate the Portuguese education system in the 18th century, at a time when it is in dialogue with the emerging conceptions of science in Eight century Europe and with the religious, Catholic tradition that marks the author's formation. The text is constituted as a theoretically based bibliographical revision. As a result, it is noted that the internal aspects of the work reflect the socio-economic and cultural context of Europe aligned with Verney's religious formation. It is concluded that the design of education thought for Portugal is born from the coexistence of Philosophy, Science and Religion.
