Violência e ensino de Filosofia no Brasil

Abstract

This article contains two moments: at first, four types of violence are presented: violence for “ignorance”, social violence, state violence and philosophical violence, and the relationship with philosophy teaching in Brazil; in a second, the encounter between Europeans and Brazilian Indians is exposed, through the writings of Manuel da Nóbrega. We will see how fear was used by the Jesuits to convince Brazilian Indians to convert and, finally, we will briefly expose how the concept of involuntary slavery influenced the constitution of modern subjective law.
