Lisboa e o Mar: uma História de Chegadas e Partidas (EMMA)

Offered by Universidade Aberta,
Lisboa e o Mar: uma História de Chegadas e Partidas (EMMA)

Situada junto à foz do rio Tejo, a cidade de Lisboa tem sido um lugar de múltiplos encontros culturais e de cruzamento de influências, desde a sua fundação. Através dos séculos, diferentes comunidades étnicas e religiosas coexistiram na cidade, que no século XIII assumiu uma importância que não mais viria a perder. Pessoas de todas as partes do mundo chegaram e partiram de Lisboa. O eco dos seus conhecimentos, experiências e costumes influenciou e deixou marcas na história e cultura portuguesa. Mas Lisboa foi também ponto de partida de muitos portugueses que, movidos por razões de ordem vária, cruzaram os mares e deixaram sinais da sua presença por todo o mundo. Neste curso vamos focar-nos na história de Lisboa a partir desta perspetiva.

Learning Objectives:
Este curso é desenhado utilizando uma abordagem multidisciplinar. O seu propósito é preparar os que nele participam para compreender e analisar criticamente a multiplicidade de perspetivas relacionadas com a complexa e diversificada dimensão da relação de Lisboa com as pessoas e culturas que a cruzaram ao longo dos séculos. Focar-nos-emos em importantes temas, em diferentes períodos históricos, que demonstram o processo do intersecção de influências no plano cultural, político, social e económico.

Philosophy, Science and Religion: Science and Philosophy (Coursera) Coursera
University of Edinburgh

Philosophy, Science and Religion: Science and Philosophy (Coursera)

Philosophy, Science and Religion mark three of the most fundamental modes of thinking about the world and our place in it. Are these modes incompatible? Put another way: is the intellectually responsible thing to do to ‘pick sides’ and identify with one of these approaches at the exclusion of others? Or, are they complementary or mutually supportive? As is typical of questions of such magnitude, the devil is in the details. For example, it is important to work out what is really distinctive about each of these ways of inquiring about the world. In order to gain some clarity here, we’ll be investigating what some of the current leading thinkers in philosophy, science and religion are actually doing.
