Christian Thomasius e a Reformulação Universitária na Aufklärung

This paper aims to explore the meaning of Christian Thomasius (1655-1728) for the first period of the German Enlightenment (Aufklärung) by focusing specially on his institutional role for the redesign of university curricula with the introduction or reformulation of subjects such as the Policey and the Kameralwissenschaften. These disciplines had an eminently practical purpose of forming a group of civil servants committed to the efficient administration of the government, what corresponds to the specificity of German Enlightenment in the broader European Enlightenment scenario.
