Description
Summary:In our analysis of Antonil, author of Cultura e opulência do Brasil, we oppose to the historiography that analyses him as a writer who examines Brazilian society of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, sometimes from a religious perspective, others from the economy perspective. Thus, the historiography sometimes explains him as an author who has a religious vision of society, others as an author who would have an economic view of it. In our viewpoint, both ways to consider him fail for being extreme. To comprehend him, it is necessary to understand him from the issues he has dealt with and how he dealt with them. Only then we can reconcile the religious and economic aspects of his worldview.
