Abstract

This collection of essays examines the life and work of Casimiro Freire: his generosity of republican thought and spirit; his pragmatism in the fight against illiteracy; his pioneering initiatives to disseminate new teaching methods (João de Deus pedagogy) and bring education to the people (mobile schools); and his support for social partnership and educational philanthropy.
