edit data

Portuguese philosopher, essayist and writer. His thought combines elements of pantheism and millenarism, an ethic of renunciation (like in Buddhism or Franciscanism), and a belief in freedom as the most important feature of man. Anti-dogmatic, he asserts that truth is only found in the sum of all conflicting hypothesis (in paradox). He may be considered a practical philosopher, living and working for a change in society, according to his beliefs.

He is part of a tradition of visionary thought that includes Father António Vieira and the poets Luís de Camões and Fernando Pessoa. Like Joachim de Fiore, he speaks of the coming of one (last?) age in History, the Age of the Holy Spirit, in which mankind and society attain perfection. To Agostinho

“I am not interested in being original. I am interested in being true.”

“Podes, e deves, ter ideias políticas, mas, por favor, as «tuas» ideias políticas, não as ideias do teu partido; o «teu» comportamento, não o comportamento dos teus líderes; os interesses de «toda» a Humanidade, não os interesses de uma «parte» dela. E lembra-te de que «parte» é a etimologia de «partido».”

“Já reparou naquilo a que chamo a agonia do trabalho? Toda a nossa vida gira em função do trabalho. Quando se pergunta a alguém o que é, nunca temos a resposta: sou homem ou sou mulher. Diz-se: sou engenheiro, electricista, médico. Só se é gente em referência ao trabalho. Um desempregado sente-se um pária e, todavia, ele é gente, a coisa mais extraordinária que se pode ser. Espero que as máquinas venham restituir às pessoas, aliviando-as do trabalho, a capacidade criativa, aquilo que nelas se oculta. Mas a transição parece-me estar a ser difícil porque as pessoas demoram muito tempo a render-se ao novo. Exigem provas seguras, entram com cautela no desconhecido.”
