Abstract
GONDRA, José Gonçalves. IN THE NAME OF "STRAIGHT CONDUCT", MUTUAL HELP, HONEST INDUSTRY AND PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE: REFLECTIONS ON INSTRUCTION AND MORAL EDUCATION (1824-1827). Hist. Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.25, e106107. Epub Sep 30, 2021. ISSN 2236-3459. https://doi.org/10.1590/2236-3459/106107.
In this article, I explore part of Silva Lisboa’s production, where he reinforces state religion and the articulation between science and revelation, a condition to reach a “higher stage”, whose best example could be seen in Great Britain. In my view, with the Constitution of the Brazilian Empire, it was necessary to outline the grounds for a straight conduct, thus associating moral science and theology as a strategy to fight the catechisms of libertinism.
