Resumo: In this paper, we intend to examine the book Verdadeiro Método de Estudar (“Real Method of Studying”, 1746), by Luís António Verney (1713-1792), as a proposal of renewal of Catholic studies in Portugal based on the critical method. After analyzing the development of the critical method in the 17th and 18th centuries and identifying some of its ramifications in France, Italy and Portugal, we consider Verney’s book in the intellectual context of Italy, where he lived from 1736 on. We then show how the author proposed to reconcile modern philosophy with dogmatic theology. For him, Scholastic Theology as adopted by the Society of Jesus in Portuguese schools and universities was not serving the main aim of theologians and philosophers, namely to defend the Catholic religion satisfactorily against religious heterodoxy.

Após passarmos em revista o desenvolvimento do método crítico nos séculos XVII e XVIII, identificando alguns de seus desdobramentos na França, Itália e Portugal, inseriremos a obra de Verney no contexto intelectual italiano, onde o autor viveu desde 1736. Em seguida, mostraremos como a proposta do autor girava em torno da ideia de se conciliar a filosofia moderna com a teologia dogmática. Para ele, a teologia escolástica adotada pela Companhia de Jesus nos colégios e universidades portugueses não servia para o que deveria ser o principal empenho de teólogos e filósofos: defender a religião católica satisfatoriamente contra a heterodoxia religiosa.Sociedade Brasileira de Teoria e História da Historiografia, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto, Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro2015-04-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/article/view/77410.15848/hh.v0i17.774História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; Vol. 8 No. 17 (2015)História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; Vol. 8 Núm. 17 (2015)História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; v. 8 n. 17 (2015)1983-9928reponame:História da Historiografiainstname:Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)instacron:UFOPporhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/article/view/774/540Ferreira, Breno Ferraz Lealinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-05-02T02:38:31Zoai:ojs.www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br:article/774Revistahttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revistaPUBhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/oaivaldei354@gmail.com || historiadahistoriografia@hotmail.com1983-99281983-9928opendoar:2020-05-02T02:38:31História da Historiografia - Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)false
