Assim, escolho um entre muitos caminhos possíveis, ou seja, o objetivo deste trabalho é analisar as características humanísticas e as concepções e bases filosóficas presentes no sistema de pensamento de Norbert Elias. Isto ocorreu por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, com obras que relatam o modo de seu pensamento e, por fim, pelos interpretes que servem de auxilio, fonte de confronto de informações e ideias para compreender a teoria e o sistema de pensamento de Elias. O percurso que será seguido é o de discorrer sobre o tipo de humanismo presente nas obras de Elias. A seguir, encontrar as bases e concepções filosóficas tentando contrapor, comparar e legitimar, utilizando as leituras realizadas pelos interpretes com o intuito de decodificar o sistema do pensamento de Elias e, por conseguinte, buscar as características humanísticas presentes em suas obras. Em suma, este trabalho pretende mostrar que o pensamento do sociólogo alemão Norbert Elias possui características humanísticas que permeiam as suas obras e consequentemente o seu modo de pensar, podendo assim afirmar que ele é um humanista na concepção filosófica. Embora aderimos à concepção de que, no limite, a Filosofia da Educação é uma antropologia filosófica e nos remetamos ao humanismo, não tomamos essa definição e esse tema como um meio de identificar, de antemão, a concepção de Elias, ou de pré-concebê-la; ao contrário, tencionamos priorizar, como objeto, a própria obra do autor, produzida entre 1930 e 1990. Por meio da interpretação dos textos selecionados, reconstituiremos sua concepção humanística, identificando as suas fontes filosóficas. / Norbert Elias’s work allows various analyses and interpretations and authors are used to analyzing and exploring it based on distinct theoretical points of reference.Thus, I have chosen one among the many possible ways, that is, this research was carried out to analyze the humanistic features and the philosophical concepts and bases found in Norbert Elias’s thought system. That was accomplished by means of bibliographical research, with works which mention the mode of his thinking and, finally, by the interpreters who serve as aid, source of confrontation of information and ideas in order to understand Elias’s theory and thought system. The course to be followed is to run through the type of humanism found in Elias’s works. Afterwards, to find out the philosophical bases and concepts trying to oppose, compare, and justify the readings carried out by those interpreters in order to decode Elias’s thought system and, consequently, seek the humanistic features found in his works.In short, this research was carried out to show that the thought of the German sociologist Norbert Elias presents many humanistic features which permeate his works and, consequently, his way of thinking, and one could even confirm that he is a humanist in his philosophical conception. Although we agree with the idea that, within compass , Philosophy of Education is a philosophical anthropology and we refer to humanism, we neither take that definition and that subject as a means to previously identify Elias’s concepts, nor preconceive it; on the contrary, we intend to give priority, as subject, to the author’s own work, written from 1930 to 1990. By interpreting selected texts, we will re-establish his humanistic conception, identifying his philosophical sources.

Philosophical justification of human dignity In the 20th century the transformation into the information society took place. The development of information technologies has brought enormous freedom, on the other hand a decline of the institution of family has quickened rapidly, the character of mutual relations in the society has changed. Thus contemporary science interferes in human naturalness. In the field of medicine technologies which enable lengthening of human life have been developed; however, this evokes the question of dignity of life like this. Current conception of human dignity is also affected by a number of recent tragedies. Consequently a huge development of protection of human rights attempting to prevent such situations in the future has taken place. Respecting human dignity is the basis of the profession of health and social workers, who together with other groups and organisations help disabled people. The project of home artificial pulmonary ventilation (DUPV) is intended for severely handicapped citizens who are dependent on a respirator for the whole life. The aim of my work was mapping the attitudes of DUPV to their own dignity. The research was carried out by a qualitative method; the monitored group consisted of seven DUPV respondents who were chosen by random sampling and by "snow ball sampling". As a method of data collection used a biographic dialogue, followed by standardized asking of 20 questions concerning the determined research questions. Based on the results of individual dialogues the casuistries were formed, obtained data were summarised in charts and tables. Three research questiond were determined: 1.How severely handicapped people with DUPV perceive their dignity? 2.Which non-material factors support dignified life of DUPV patients? 3.Which material factors improve the quality life of DUPV patients? All these questions were answered by the research. We want to mediate the results of the work to professionals, especially to the Centre for DUPV in Brno. The respondents, too, will be sent the results of our research and information from thechapter dealing with social security as well as the contacts with helping organisations.
