O valor das humanidades em um tempo técnico-científico.

In this paper, we analyzed some issues about the notion of utility of the humanities. Is the thinking not attached to an immediate utilitarianism synonym of inutility? To answer this question, we present some historical aspects that found the automatic link between utility and sciences and the devaluation of the subjects that do not produce an immediate product. This is not a manifest against the hard sciences or a panegyric to humanities. These are just some reflections that reshape the issue of the humanity studies as an integrant part of the contemporary knowledge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
