DUARTE, Cláudia Elias. The pedagogical proposal of António Ribeiro Sanches: the public education of the Portuguese Youth. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2019, vol.33, n.69, pp.1659-1694.  Epub Feb 06, 2022. ISSN 1982-596X.  https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.v33n69a2019-50973.

With Cartas à Mocidade Portuguesa António Ribeiro Sanches defines his place among the philosophers who have devoted their thoughts to the education of the youngest. But unlike Locke, Rousseau or Martinho de Mendonça, Sanches reorients his attention to the public education by opening a different path of reflection in the field of pedagogy and making clearer the link between education and the preservation of society. This article intends to analyze the pedagogical proposal of Sanches, bearing in mind that, for the author, although all should have access to public education, this should be considered according to the social condition of each one. Sanches assumes, thus, the idea of an education understood as an instrument that guarantees effectiveness in determining, and perpetuating, the place that each occupies in society by transmitting knowledge and promoting specific skills for each social class.

Keywords : António Ribeiro Sanches; Public education; Aristocracy; Jean-Jacques Rousseau; John Locke.
