Whereas Emile Durkheim (1858-1917) has long been envisioned as a structuralist, quantitative, and positivist sociologist, some materials that Durkheim produced in the later stages of his career—namely, Moral Education (1961 [1902-1903]), The Evolution of Educational Thought (1977 [1904-1905]), The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life (1915 [1912]), and Pragmatism and Sociology (1983 [1913-1914]) attest to a very different conception of sociology—one with particular relevance to the study of human knowing, acting, and interchange. Although scarcely known in the social sciences, Emile Durkheim’s (1993 [1887]) “La Science Positive de la Morale en Allemagne” [“The Scientific Study of Morality in Germany”] is an exceptionally important statement for establishing the base of much of Durkheim’s subsequent social thought and for comprehending the field of sociology more generally. This includes the structuralist-pragmatist divide and the more distinctively humanist approach to the study of community life that Durkheim most visibly develops later (1961 [1902-1903]; 1977 [1904-1905]; 1915 [1912]; 1983 [1913-1914]) in his career.

Esta comunicação é resultante de pesquisa cujo objetivo era investigar o projeto de educação moral ofertado por José da Silva Lisboa, o visconde de Cairu (1756-1835) por meio de seu livro Escola Brasileira ou Instrucção Útil a todas as classes junto com a Lei das Escolas de Primeiras Letras, ambos de 1827, no Brasil. Silva Lisboa é um homem do Antigo Regime em fase de transição para um mundo moderno. Formou-se professor e magistrado na ilustração coimbrã e exerceu vários cargos na administração colonial e imperial. Arregimentado por D. João VI em 1808 fez da sua vida na Corte constante defesa do trono e do altar. Analisando seus livros e sua vida parlamentar vimos que sua participação no processo de construção das instituições brasileiras, com a criação de um modelo educacional, tornou-se parte natural de seu projeto intelectual. Refutando tudo aquilo que não devia se consolidar, por que trazia o sinal da barbárie, e conservando tudo aquilo que trazia os traços demonstrativos da civilização, dedicou-se à escrita de livros destinados à formação moral do cidadão brasileiro tendo como princípios a Fé, a Liberdade e a Ordem, mesclando um pensamento e uma linguagem liberal e conservadora.Brazilian School: the project of moral education for youth in José da Silva Lisboa, the Viscount of Cairu (1756-1835). This article is the result of a research whose objective was to investigate the project of moral education offered by José da Silva Lisboa, the viscount of Cairu (1756-1835) through his book Escola Brasileira ou Instrucção Útil a todas as classes along with Law of the Schools of First Letters, both of 1827, in Brazil. Silva Lisboa is a man of the Ancient Regime in phase of transition to a modern world. He trained as a teacher and magistrate in the Coimbra University illustration and held various positions in colonial and imperial administration. Arranged by King John VI in 1808 made his life in the Court constant defense of the throne and altar. Analyzing his books and his parliamentary life we saw that his participation in the process of building Brazilian institutions, with the creation of an educational model, became a natural part of his intellectual project. Refuting everything that should not consolidate, because it bore the sign of barbarism, and preserving everything that bore the demonstrative traits of civilization, he devoted himself to the writing of books destined to the moral formation of the Brazilian citizen, having as principles the Faith, the Liberty and the Order, mixing liberal and conservative thinking and language. Keywords: Liberal education; Moral education; Brazilian school; Viscount of Cairu; First Empire.

SummaryThis article analyzes the problems of community life as explored in Emile Durkheim’s texts, particularly his lectures published under the title Moral Education. The starting point is the tension, characteristic of modern society, between the need to express one’s self within the community and the need to assert individual autonomy. The thesis presented here is that Durkheim looks for the sources of contemporary community life through the impact of school and professional groups, instead of the traditional influence of the family and Church. The article examines Durkheim’s argumentation relevant to justifying the thesis. In the final point, two lines of criticism of the Durkheimian concept, the spiritual and the Marxist, are deemed moot, as is the line of comparison between Durkheim’s approach and Zbigniew Kwieciński’s concept of community life.
