Orientador: Alice Assis / Banco: Carlos Eduardo Mathias Motta / Banco: Nelson Antonio Pirola / Resumo: Esta pesquisa corresponde a uma investigação acerca de Escolas Humanistas e o desempenho dos alunos dessas escolas em Avaliações de Larga Escala no Brasil - SARESP e Prova Brasil. Esta pesquisa traz a metodologia humanista, dando ênfase à educação matemática e ao modo de avaliação nessas escolas para depois verificar o desempenho dos alunos e o sentimento deles em relação às provas objetivas/dissertativas. Os sujeitos desta pesquisa são 22 alunos (12 do 5º ano e 10 do 9º ano, ambos do Ensino Fundamental II) de uma escola situada no interior do estado de São Paulo, que segue os moldes da Escola da Ponte (Portugal). A pesquisa é quali-quantitativa e como instrumentos, utiliza-se os resultados de provas realizadas pelos alunos dessa escola (Prova Brasil - 2011 e SARESP - 2011), os dados oficiais divulgados pelo Governo Federal e Governo Estadual de São Paulo e também uma entrevista feita com alguns desses alunos ingressos da escola pesquisada. Pelos resultados foi possível perceber que o desempenho desses alunos nessas provas é semelhante ao dos alunos oriundos de escolas que adotam outras metodologias de ensino. / Abstract: This research corresponds to an investigation about Humanists schools and the students performance in Large Scale Ratings in Brazil - SARESP and "Prova Brazil". This research shows the humanism methodology, with an emphasis on mathematics education and the kind of evaluation in these schools and then we checked the performance of the students and their feelings regarding the objective tests and essays. The subjects are 22 students (12 of 5th grade and 10 of 9th grade, both the Elementary School II) of a school that follows the pattern of the "Escola da ponte" (Portugal), located in the state of São Paulo. The research is qualitative and quantitative, and as instruments, we used the results of the tests (Prova Brazil - 2011 and SARESP - 2011) that was performed by the students of this school, we used the official data released by the Federal Government and State Government of São Paulo and also an interview made with some of these students researched by us on this school. The results show that the performance of these students in these tests is similar to the students from schools that adopt other teaching methodologies. / Mestre

Submitted to the Faculty of Arts in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Theology in the Department of Religion Studies at the UNIVERSITY OF ZULULAND, 2008. / After a brief introduction, a new translation of De Legibus II, and prolegomenal remarks, the commentary discusses in Cicero's sequence: how place connects to ancient times and traditions (4), God's Law and his judgment on human laws (5-6), tension between Roman religion and Greek philosophy (7), and the setting forth of Cicero's code of religious law (8), the code covers whom to worship (9), the power of Cicero's own priesthood (10), religion and political unity (11), social justice and religious rites (12), Cicero's digression on a turf-war between augurs and pontifices and priestly responsibility for religious law alone (13), the rites of death (14), and the prospect of immortality (15). Excursuses within the commentary include: holy reason as imago Dei in humans; dialogists' family and friendship; legitimacy of law in Confucianism; the supreme God and His/Its relation to lesser deities, especially Minerva; hyperphilologism and ancient holist theology (hence reference to current African philosophy and theology and to modern religious traditions). Cicero's anti-Platonism/anti-utopianism. parallel Confucian-Mohist enmity, and the common substrate of family and family rite; mistaking propriety for agnosticism and tacit knowing for unbelief; reliability of the canonical texts; the sages' descendants and classical explicators; tyranny as the sin of parricide: Roman priesthoods with reference to the religious power of women; family religious rites; the augural priesthood and its liberationist implications. Selected interpretive issues meriting further enquiry follows: the integrity of theology in DL2 and aspects of classical Confucianism; Cicero's theological language and the use of translations; theological anti-totalitarianism in Cicero and his contemporary Han Dynasty Confucians; scholarly contempt for Cicero and its civic-theological implications: late-dating of DL as buttress of its civic-theological character; lsocrates as anti-Platonic paradigm of theological political praxis; the distinctiveness of our sages over against mediaeval philosophical theology in the West and China; and anti-imperialist theology in Viet Nam and Cicero's Philippics. The conclusion offers encouragement in civic-theological resistance to tyranny, the role of humane reason in theology and the present applicability of aspects of the theology of Cicero and that of Confucius.

This thesis compares organized humanist organizations in Canada and the Netherlands. Using a grounded theoretical approach, three fundamental research questions are addressed: (1) Why has organized humanism been much more successful in the Netherlands than in Canada?; (2) Why is Dutch humanism informed by an inclusive ideological orientation, while Canadian humanism is militantly anti-religious?; and (3) Is there a relationship between success and ideological orientation? Using a number of socio-historical and internal-organizational factors, the study suggests that the success of the Dutch movement is, in part, indebted to the long humanist tradition in the Netherlands stretching back to the sixteenth century. Secondly, the pillarization of Dutch society along ideological lines during the late nineteenth century influenced the development of a distinct humanist pillar following the end of the Second World War. Along with the confessional pillars, humanists in the Netherlands were able to secure financial assistance from the state, encouraging an inclusive, non-confrontational ideological foundation for Dutch humanism. In comparison, Canada lacks a strong irreligious tradition and maintains a fair degree of neutrality between church and state. As a result, Canadian humanists have not received any form of subsidization from the state. Organized humanism in Canada was heavily influenced by the militantly anticlerical British rationalist movement and developed largely around Dr. Henry Morgentaler's controversial fight for abortion rights during the late 1960s. As a consequence, Canadian humanism is anti-religious in its orientation. By developing humanism into a practical alternative to the church, Dutch humanists have enjoyed greater success than their Canadian counterparts. However, given the tremendous decrease in religious affiliation in both Canada and the Netherlands during recent decades, the comparatively small numbers joining the ranks of organized humanist movements suggests that this non-theistic worldview does not serve as an attractive alternative to traditional religious expressions. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

The thesis advances the name of Raphael Santi, the High Renaissance artist, to be included among the famous and highly esteemed Humanists of the Renaissance period. While the artistic creativity of the Renaissance is widely recognized, the creators have traditionally been viewed as mere craftsmen. In the case of Raphael Santi, his skills as a painter have proven to be a timeless medium for the immortalizing of the elevated thinking and turbulent challenges of the time period. His interests outside of painting, including archaeology and architecture, also offer strong testimony of his Humanist background and pursuits.
