Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The goal of this thesis is to present a historical-theological inquiry regarding secular humanism in Malawi. Some Christians have tried to respond, but there has been no detailed historical-theological response from the Church or theologians, nor has there been any critical investigation into the philosophy and underlying assumptions of secular humanism (understood as a specific movement and a broader intellectual current). (SHOULD BE REMOVED) The study is both historical and theological in perspective. It is historical, in that secular humanism is dealt with from a historical dimension, whereby its development over centuries is traced and lessons are learnt on how to respond to this movement in Malawi today. This study is also theological, in that it explores whether Christian humanism can engage constructively with concerns raised by secular humanists. It describes secular humanism on the level of its underlying assumptions, which are laid bare and their possible weaknesses exposed. The researcher holds that a critique of the assumptions is of greater merit than that which ends only on the level of specific arguments. Such a method of critiquing is borrowed from Klaus Nürnberger, who in his book Richard Dawkins’ God Delusion: A Repentant Refutation, critiqued Dawkins on the level of assumptions as well as Alister and Joanna McGrath who, in their book The Dawkins Delusion? Atheist Fundamentalism and the Denial of the Divine, challenged Dawkins at representative points, leaving it to readers to judge the overall reliability of his evidence and position. This is not to throw away specific arguments for it is through such arguments that we discern assumptions. This study is a critical engagement with the assumptions of secular humanism in Malawi, with the goal of responding to the challenges posed by their critique of religiosity. The study seeks to offer a constructive and adequate way of engaging Secular humanists and at the same time, explores whether Christian humanism is ideal in engaging concerns raised by secular humanists. The Christian humanist John W. de Gruchy is studied. He drew from John Calvin and Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the study also shows how he made use of their insights.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie tesis is om ‘n histories-teologiese ondersoek aangaande Sekulêre humanisme in Malawi in te stel. Sommige Christene het probeer reageer, maar tot dusver was daar nog nie ‘n georganiseerde en sistematiese histories-teologiese reaksie van die Kerk of teoloë nie, daar was ook nog nie enige kritiese ondersoek na die filosofie en onderliggende aannames van Sekulêre humanisme (hier verstaan as ‘n spesifieke beweging en ‘n breër intellektuele stroming). (SHOULD BE REMOVED) Hierdie studie is sowel histories as teologies in perspektief. Dit is histories, in dat Sekulêre humanisme vanuit ‘n historiese dimensie benader word, waardeur die ontwikkeling oor eeue heen gevolg word en lesse geleer word oor hoe om te reageer op hierdie beweging tans in Malawi. Die studie is ook teologies, in die sin dat dit van die aanname uitgaan dat Christelike humanisme konstruktief met die vraagstelling wat Sekulêre humaniste op die tafel plaas, kan omgaan. Dit beskryf Sekulêre humanisme op die vlak van die onderliggende aannames, wat uitgelig word en waarvan die moontlike swakhede ontbloot word. Die navorser voer aan dat ‘n kritiek van die aannames van groter meriete is as een wat eindig op die vlak van spesifieke argumente. Hierdie metode van kritisering word geleen van Klaus Nurnberger, wat is sy boek Richard Dawkins’ God Delusion: A Repentant Refutation, Dawkins kritiseer op die vlak van aannames, asook Alister en Joanna McGrath, wat in hulle boek The Dawkins Delusion? Atheist Fundamentalism and the Denial of the Divine, Dawkins op verteenwoordigende punte uitdaag, wat dit aan die lesers oorlaat om die oorhoofse geloofwaardigheid van sy bewyse en standpunt te bepaal. Dit is nie om spesifieke argumente weg te gooi nie, aangesien dit deur sulke argumente is wat ons aannames onderskei. Die studie is ‘n kritiese omgaan met die aannames en filosofie van Sekulêre humanisme in Malawi, met die doel om te reageer op die uitdagings wat deur hulle kritiek van godsdiens gebied word. Hierdie studie poog om op ’n konstruktiewe manier met Sekulêre humaniste om te gaan en bied terselfdertyd Christelike humanisme aan as die ideaal in die omgaan met die vraagstellings wat Sekulêre humaniste opper. Die Christelike humanis John W. de Gruchy is ‘n voorbeeld van hoe ‘n Christelike humanitiese veldtog uitgevoer kan word. Hy bou op Johannes Calvyn en Dietrich Bonhoeffer en die studie dui ook aan hoe hy van hulle insigte gebruik maak.

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.

Full textAbstract The relationship between religion and science is expressed in the guidelines for the subject from Skolverket. This thesis is an investigation of how science is presented in education material for upper secondary school. I also investigate how humanism as a conception of life is presented in educational material. The questions for this thesis are: How is humanism as a conception of live presented in educational material for the subject of religion in upper secondary school? How is science in relation to religion presented in educational material in upper secondary school? The basis for my investigation what science has to say on the subject of both humanism as a conception of life and how the relation between science and religion. I use the work of Anders Jeffner and Ingemar Hedenius to define what a conception of life is. The next base in my background is what science has to say about the relation between science and religion, here I lean on the works of Carl-Reinhold Bråkenhielm and Ulf Görman. The third chapter in the background focuses on what science says about humanism as a conception of life, here I use Carl-Henric Grenholm’s research. The last part in my background is about what the guidelines says about both humanism and science in relation to religion.My method and theory used in this thesis is a discourse analysis based on the works of Bergström and Boréus and Carlsson and von Brömssen. The method is a content aspect which focuses on the written word. Another important piece is Bergström and Boréus four interpretation strategies.In my research on the educational material in the subject religion in the upper secondary school I have used the following books: Söka svar: Religionskunskap kurs 1, Relief: Livsvägar and Religion 1 för gymnasiet. My research has shown that there is a great difference between the educational materials, both I matter of the relation between science and religion and in how they present humanism as a conception of life. The educational material that best presents science in relation to what I found in my background is Religion 1 för gymnasiet. Humanism as a conception of life is also presented the best in Religion 1 för gymnasiet.

Full textComing Up For Air (1939) belongs to a very tumultuous decade culminating in the Second World War. The spiritual conditions it portrays, are, nevertheless, strangely similar to ours. Plenty of people today would say that they have been robbed of their soul, that their vital juice has been drained away. That’s why we take this novel as a reference to study Orwell’s humanism. This appears in our thesis in a somewhat different form to the tragic humanism that Orwell’s scholars described a few decades ago. For the common man’s destiny is not, normally, to fight against overpowering forces which try to destroy his aspirations towards justice, truth, beauty and recognition. More often everyone’s crystal spirit has to face mundane and imperfect realities, which are far below his aspirations. However, to accept these realities avoiding imaginary substitutes is the key to a fully human life.

Full textMany studies on XIV and XV century Florentine humanism, even when they accept the importance of rhetoric tradition, mainly the Latin rhetoric tradition, in humanists educational background and works from these centuries, see this rhetoric tradition just as a tool which hides humanists true and sincere beliefs, forming a gap between their works and their political realities and making the works of these early humanists a somewhat embarrassing and dangerous historical source for historians.This work seeks to analyze some works of two Florentine humanists from XIV and XV centuries: Leonardo Bruni Aretino e Lino Coluccio Salutati, from a critical historiographical view on Hans Barons thesis on civic Humanism (1955 and 1966) and Quentin Skinners historical and theoretical writings (1999a, 2007 and 2007a), as well as the writings of other ancient and modern authors who have also written about many and important relations between language, politics and history. It aims to identify the classical rhetoric tradition present and active in both humanists production not as an element that keeps them away from their political realities and hides their true and sincere beliefs, but as a mean through which these humanists created new concepts and new vocabulary that contributed not only to shape the cultural and political reality in which Coluccio Salutati and Leonardo Bruni lived and actively took part, in Italy and in Europe, but that have also contributed to form the occidental political thought.
