Abstract

The contemporary scientistic attitude, one of the modern evils, justifies the performance of a different scientific work, that through theoretical and practical study of human being proposes solutions to problems generated by it. This work is linked to a wide research project entitled "The Pathology Modernity and the remedies of the Humanities: Research and experimentation" (Case number 2010/50448.0 FAPESP). Starting from this reference and this experience, this project aims to assess the impact of a humanization (through the humanities approach) in the lives of students in public high school in São Paulo-SP, using the format of Laboratory of Humanities.
