| Abstract | |
The present work, situated in the field of Intellectual History, aims to focus a discussion towards José Pedro Varela‟s (1845 -1879) ideas for an educational reform in Uruguay on nineteenth century. Therefore, we propose, through Quentin Skinner e John G. A Pocock‟s “linguistic conceptualism”, a relation between Varela‟s ideas and the main debates and publications about public education issues in Uruguay. Our hypothesis that his educational propositions intend to accomplish a wider political project that aimed to implement democracy and the consolidation of republican practices. Besides that, we believe that Varela‟s propositions build a projection of how Uruguay should be in terms of social and political stability. To discover this “project of Uruguay” in his writings, we are going to utilize as historical sources some texts published in newspapers back in those days, beside his works La Educación del Pueblo and La Legislción Escolar. Yet, for the purposes of the analyzing the Uruguayan intellectual‟s sociability spaces and their “microweathers” – in Jean François Sirinelli‟s terms – we are going the recur eventually to the writings of Varela‟s contemporaries, such as Carlos MaríaRamírez, Agustin de Vedia, Lucas Herrera y Obes, Juan Zorrilla de San Martin, and others, in order to get a wider comprehension about the educational struggles e, by the consequence, Uruguayan republican project attached to it.
