Lisboa / Amesterdão, International Institute of Social History, 2008http://hdl.handle.net/10451/12139Refereed article on the promotion of the humane and historical consciousness in 16 and 17th centuries, education and comity in a contradicting world, focusing on tensions and ambiguities of confessional societies or states. We focus the way educational and social ideas have contributed to the organisation of the society. We try to establish the frontiers between some of the main issues that had composed the early Modern forms of government by means of an interdisciplinary approach. We will compare different courts and social movements under different regimes (monarchies versus republics), and we will study, namely, the exercise of violence and justice, freedom and tyranny.engEducaçãoPromoção socialCivilidadeDinâmicas sociaisJustiçaIgrejasEstadosProfissões de féViolênciaImagéticaDescobrimentosLiberdadeconference object
