PRINCIPE, João. The sources of the labour pedagogy of António Sérgio. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2019, vol.33, n.68, pp.783-815.  Epub 30-Ago-2021. ISSN 1982-596X.  https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.v33n68a2019-51212.

Perhaps the most striking feature of the thought of António Sérgio (1883-1969) is his proposal of a labour pedagogy, where the preparation for and through work is a condition for the construction of persons that live in a society based on cooperation. For Sérgio the proper implementation of new teaching methods, that respect the true interests of children, implies a serious philosophical reflection, a coherent anthropological model in which a conception of human labour is critical. Our purpose is to articulate his philosophical reflections that justify the educational and social value of human labour, taking care of foreign sources of inspiration, among which are Pierre-Joseph Proudhon (1809-1865), John Dewey (1859-1952) and Georg Kerschensteiner (1854-1932). It is shown that Sérgio brought together reflections of those thinkers, establishing a harmonic philosophical communion, usually ignored. By using the methods of the history of ideas that value the search of genealogy and intellectual context, we honour, in the fiftieth anniversary of his death, one of the paladins of the Éducation Nouvelle in Portugal, showing the real motivations of that progressive educational movement during the First Portuguese Republic.

Palabras clave : António Sérgio; Labour pedagogy; Proudhon; Dewey; Kerschensteiner.
