Abstract
DECIO PASSOS, João. Higher Education and the Magisterium of the Church. The Goal of Truth and the Method of Dialogue. Theol. Xave. [online]. 2018, vol.68, n.185, pp.125-149. ISSN 0120-3649. https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.tx68-185.esmi.
This study presents an overview on the issue of higher education in the magisterium of the Catholic Church. It structures itself on two topics that focus on the historical roots of higher education in the context of the process of institutionalization of Christianity and on texts of the magisterium devoted to the subject. It affirms that the scholastic tradition and Vatican II Council constitute two epicentres around which the issue gravitates, the latter being the fundamental reference for the dialogue between faith and reason in the context of the plural and techno-scientific society of our days.
Keywords : Higher education; Magisterium; University; Faith and Science.
