Abstract
In times when the need for humanist reflection in
the academic training of the new generations is
questioned, it is convenient to reflect on the meaning
of all things human and on what we have come to
refer to as humanities. A review on the meaning of
humanitas is hence conducted, in the first section,
through a brief historical overview that purposely
endeavors to be a concise, archaeological panorama
of the subject under discussion. In the second section,
a reflection on the humanitas / sciences relationship is
offered, attempting to persuade about the reciprocity
needed for the understanding of what is human itself.
The third section adds to said relationship the ethical
issue – the dignity of the human being whose ethical
ontological condition is inherent in their freedom.
The fourth section shows the need for humanities
in times of conflict and subsequent conciliation. The
emergence of aesthetics and care as elements that
contribute to broadening the sense of humanities, as
well as to ensuring their validity is explored in the fifth
and sixth sections, respectively
