FARIA FILHO, Luciano Mendes de. O mártir, o humanista, o pedagogo: a contemporaneidade de Rui Barbosa e a educação nas comemorações do centenário de seu nascimento (1949). Educ. Rev. [online]. 2013, n.50, pp.159-179. ISSN 0104-4060.

This article aims at analyzing the interventions of three Brazilian scholars - Clemente Mariani, Lourenço Filho, and Fernando Azevedo - in the celebration of Rui Barbosa’s centenary in 1949. It specifically analyzes the way they approach the question of Education in Rui Barbosa’s work. We establish a connection between the commemorations of the centenary and the publication of his Complete Works, an activity to which the initial investment dates from the late 1930’s, and that managed to publish the first volume in 1942. Both movements - the publication of the Complete Works, and the celebration of the centenary - are part of a same effort in demonstrating, at the same time, the outstanding performance of Bahia’s jurist, politician, and scholar, in the defense of the noblest causes - Education among them -, and his contemporaneity in the discussion of the great challenges that marked the country at that time.

Keywords : Educational Thinking; Scholars; House of Rui Barbosa.
