Que fez São Tomás de Aquino diante de Karl Marx

O artigo aborda o diálogo de setores da Igreja Católica com o pensamento marxista. É privilegiado neste trabalho o Centro de Estudos e Ação Social (Ceas), uma instituição fundada pelos jesuítas na Bahia. Procurarei demonstrar como esta instituição da Companhia de Jesus reinterpretou o marxismo 310 com base na sua visão cristã, contribuindo para a construção de um novo pensamento social católico no Brasil, durante a segunda metade do século XX

Socially Just Teaching and the Complementarity of Ignatian Pedagogy and Critical Pedagogy

This qualitative research, conducted in a teacher education course at an urban Jesuit university, examines the concerns voiced by preservice teachers when they are challenged to define and embrace a vision of “teaching for social justice” in a methods course utilizing instructional methods based on theories of critical pedagogy and Ignatian pedagogy. The reflective journals and focus group interviews of a cohort of 15 preservice teachers revealed concerns about the curriculum, the pedagogy, and the rationale for socially just teaching. Those concerns, when juxtaposed with Ignatian pedagogy and critical pedagogy, reveal that each theory is both helpful and limited in its ability to address those concerns. In tandem, the two theories provide valuable support for the development of preservice teachers attempting to become socially just teachers

Dialogue, Discernment, and Creative Tensions in Jesuit Higher Education

Like most higher education institutions, Catholic universities experience changes and pressures due to university rankings, education marketisation, and diverse student bodies. As part of the Catholic Church, these institutions must also be faithful to their unique religious identity and mission. In this paper focusing on Jesuit institutions, the concept of creative tension is explored as it operates in the student, faculty, and institutional levels. For students, Jesuit universities make efforts to balance both professional and holistic education; for faculty, the focus is on the balance of professional and institutional involvement; for institutions, the balance of teaching and research, and service for justice and faith. The paper discusses how these tensions are present in Jesuit schools, and how its creativity is the product of dialogue and discernment
