In recognition of all his work and the legacy he has left us, the Presidency of the Republic awarded him the insignia of Grand Officer of the Order of Public Instruction (1987) and, on his 90 th birthday, honoured him with the Grand Cross of the Ordem Militar de Sant’Iago da Espada . On the same occasion, the Ministry of Science and Technology (24 November 1996) promoted a national tribute to him, in collaboration with institutions and personalities of the academia, education and culture, which took place at the Academia de Ciências de Lisboa [Lisbon Academy of Sciences] . The date was then proposed as ‘National Day for Scientific Culture, a privileged moment each year for stocktaking, reflection and action on the role of knowledge in our future’. The previous year, the University of Évora had awarded him an honoris causa doctorate . In 1992, his name was given to the Cova da Piedade Secondary School (1992) and, posthumously, to a street in Lisbon ’ s Marvila neighbourhood (1997). Throughout his life and after his death, other tributes were paid to him in recognition of his value, in public sessions, on radio and television, in collections of his texts and in the preparation of academic papers on his work.
