Quotes by Boaventura de Sousa Santos (?)

“Temos formado conformistas incompetentes e precisamos de rebeldes competentes”
― Boaventura de Sousa Santos

tags: competência, conformidade, incompetência, rebeldia

“humanos, para serem respeitados, apenas exigiam do Estado uma atitude negativa (abster-se de agir de modo que violassem os direitos). Com a emergência gradual dos direitos humanos sociais e econômicos, a exigência ante o Estado deixou de ter um caráter negativo para passar a ter um caráter positivo (o Estado deve agir de modo a realizar as prestações em que se traduzem os direitos). Por uma ou outra via, o Estado tem permanecido no centro dos debates sobre os direitos humanos e assim deve continuar. No entanto, esta centralidade não tem permitido analisar adequadamente as transformações”

“Since scientific knowledge is not distributed in a socially equitable way, its interventions in the real world tend to serve the social groups having more access to such knowledge.”
