The philosophical view presented in Teixeira???s work was heavily influenced by two works of John Dewey: Experience and education and Democracy and education: introduction to the philosophy of education. Based on these two references, more directly on the first one, in which Dewey developed the theory of experience, Teixeira approached the issue of traditional versus scientific morality. Teixeira???s claims that the traditional morality, which prevailed in his context and that had in the catholic church its most vocal supporters, did not assure that the school, as a medium of education, could cater to a society that had been undergoing fast transformations. This morality, Teixeira argued, harbored in its entirety rigid and authoritarian principles that did not contribute for an optimal individual development once blind obedience, inaction, the respect to books, and professors were unquestionable rules. Therefore, in a society in which, due to scientific progress, had been going through continuous changes in its social tapestry and, above all, with a visible democratic tendency, called for schools to adopt in its pedagogical practice the scientific morality that embraced the advances stemming from the experimental morality. Teixeira argument on the relevance of scientific lied on the fact that it would contribute for a democratic education due to the sheer fact that it would grant the individual freedom of expression of his personality. It would also allow the individual to make his own choices and bear its inherent responsibilities in a way permitted him to be capable of self-government becoming his own master and a promoter of social welfare. / Esta pesquisa tem como objeto a moral cient??fica como supera????o da moral tradicional na obra Pequena introdu????o ?? filosofia da educa????o: a escola progressiva ou transforma????o da escola de An??sio Teixeira. A proposta filos??fica apresentada nesta obra de An??sio sofreu fortes influ??ncias de duas obras de John Dewey, quais sejam: Experi??ncia e educa????o e Democracia e educa????o: introdu????o ?? filosofia da educa????o. A partir destas duas refer??ncias, mais diretamente da primeira, na qual Dewey desenvolve a teoria da experi??ncia, foi que An??sio abordou o problema da moral tradicional versus a moral cient??fica. Compreende An??sio Teixeira que a moral tradicional que prevalecia no seu contexto e que tinha como defensores mais not??rios a Igreja cat??lica, n??o contribu??a para que a escola, enquanto meio de educa????o, pudesse atender a uma sociedade que vinha passando por c??leres transforma????es, j?? que esta moral tinha em seu conjunto preceitos r??gidos e autorit??rios que n??o contribu??am para a boa forma????o do indiv??duo, uma vez que a obedi??ncia e a passividade, o respeito aos livros e aos mestres eram ditames incontest??veis. Portanto, em uma sociedade que, em virtude dos avan??os cient??ficos, vinha sofrendo uma cont??nua mudan??a nos seus arranjos sociais e, sobretudo, com uma expressiva tend??ncia democr??tica, fazia-se necess??rio que a escola adotasse em seu fazer pedag??gico a moral cient??fica que incorporava tais avan??os advindos do m??todo experimental. O argumento de An??sio Teixeira sobre a relev??ncia da moral cient??fica esteia-se no fato de que esta contribuiria para uma educa????o democr??tica pelo simples fato de permitir ao indiv??duo a liberdade de express??o de sua personalidade, bem como de fazer as suas pr??prias escolhas e de assumir as suas reponsabilidades de maneira que ele fosse capaz de se autogovernar, tornar-se senhor de si mesmo e visar o bem social.
