Description
Summary:This article is a constituent part of a doctoral dissertation entitled “The topicality of the thought of Alvaro Borges Vieira Pinto (1909-1937) to the debate on the university reform”. We sought to explain the formation and bases of Alvaro Borges Vieira Pinto’s thought, highlighting the catholic and integralist influence present in the beginning of his performance, as well as his activities in the Philosophy Department of the Superior Institute of Brazilian Studies (ISEB) between 1955 and 1961. During this period, the philosopher gradually departed from the catholic and integralist principles and became concerned with the necessity of a national project, as well as of a project for the university. We highlight the influence of Integralism (a fascist-based movement occurred in Brazil in the 1930s) and Catholicism in his formation, his performance in the philosophy department of the ISEB, and his preoccupation with the national development.
