Descrição
Resumo:This paper  aims  to  identify how  some  concepts  from  Florestan  Fernandes’work  can analytically approachtheoretical issues in the Sociology of Morality.“Absent presence”seeks to draw attention to bothcentral and peripheral aspectsof these concepts in his work. Itspresence is due to itsheuristic and political value and its absence is duetoitslittle theoretical systematizationin  Fernandes’theory.However, the  paper  will  try  to demonstrate that, even with such theoretical invisibility, moral plays a relevant role in macrosociologicalconcepts, such as dependent capitalism.
