L’amitié au dix-huitième siècle possède un spectre définitoire plus étendu et celui-ci s’étend encore lorsque l’on étudie ce sentiment dans les lettres de Voltaire et D’Alembert. Leur relation, longue de plus de trente ans, reste indéfectible ; malgré une génération de différence entre eux, ils ont su dépasser les dissemblances qui les séparaient, les différends, de multiples manières avec plus ou moins de bonheur cependant. Mais c’est justement à travers les écueils relationnels rencontrés qu’il y a mise à l’épreuve de l’amitié et donc révélation de sa valeur, de son rayonnement, voire de sa définition particulière. Notre démarche a consisté à rendre le plus possible les leviers relationnels et -à travers la suspension du lien- le rattachement amical. Ces suspensions sont de plusieurs ordres car si la censure tient une grande place, les diverses querelles littéraires et dissensions philosophiques voire politico-religieuses occupent nos épistoliers. Les ruses pour supplanter les ennemis communs ont su distraire nos correspondants de leurs tensions et conquérir leur public. Et une rivalité d’influence a fait évoluer leur rapport l’un à l’autre ainsi que leur sentiment mutuel. Finalement, l’objet polémique, symbolisé par la lettre et le livre au sens large, les circonstances ou le jeu des sociétés ont mû leur sentiment amical. / In the eighteenth century, friendship possesses a vaster defining spectrum and this is extended when we study this feeling in Voltaire’s and D’Alembert letters. Their long lasting relationship of more than thirty years remains indestructible despite the difference of generation between them. They knew how to overtake the disparities that separated them, the disputes, and the multiple manners with somewhat and nevertheless, happiness. But it is precisely through the relational pitfalls and obstacles that the friendship had been tested, its value is revealed, its particular brilliance too. Our approach consisted in returning as much as possible to the relational levers and –through the suspension of the link- the friendship attachment. These suspensions have several characteristics and consequently if censorship holds a big part, the diverse literary quarrels and the philosophical dissensions as well as politically-religious take over our correspondence. Their guiles to supplant the common enemies were able to distract them from their tensions and conquer their public. A rivalry of influence developed their relationship one to another and their mutual feelings. Finally, it is the polemical object symbolized by the letter and the book in a broad sense, the circumstances or the role of companies that moved their friendship feelings.

Os quatro capítulos centrais são constituídos por estudos sobre as idéias de Diderot, d' Alembert, Condillac e Condorcet nos quais se procura ressaltar, para cada pensador, o aspecto mais notável em relação à educação matemática. Em Diderot, esse aspecto se encontra no sentido político da educação matemática; d' Alembert se distingue por sua consideração da epistemologia da Matemática como a base da educação matemática. Em Condillac, destaca-se a valorização da educação matemática no plano cognitivo geral; em Condorcet, as concepções e propostas para a educação matemática na instrução pública. Os capítulos inicial e final apresentam, respectivamente, o quadro da educação matemática na França do século XVllI, antes da Revolução, e o contexto da mesma educação no período pós-iluminista, da morte de Condorcet à Restauração / Abstract: This thesis is focused on elucidating visions on Mathematical Education of four Eighteenth Century French Enlightenrnent authors, namely, Diderot, d' Alembert, Condillac and Condorcet. These philosophers main views on Mathematical Education, as perceived, are here organised in four exc1usively dedicated chapters, each of them selecting and approaching the core themes and arguments of each author. Accordingly, Diderot's main ideas on the topic are aimed at the political meaning of Mathematical Education, whereas to d' Alembert, the central aspect to be underlined is the Mathematical Epistemology. As for Condillac, the priority is given to the evolving cognitive frameworks. Finally, it is believed that Condorcet' s ultimate emphasis is on public education. The thesis initial and final chapters characterise the Mathematical Education contexts in France, respectively, in the Eighteenth Century before the French Revolution and in the Post-Enlightenrnent phase, from Condorcet's death to the French Restoration / Doutorado / Doutor em Educação
