“Is there a Brazilian philosophy?” asks Ivan Domingues. To answer this question in Philosophy in Brazil: Legacies and Perspectives (Editora Unesp), Domingues uses the essay as a literary resource. The result is a broad philosophical reflection on philosophy itself, a meta-philosophical text whose “object becomes the Brazilian philosophy or, more exactly, the philosophical problem of the existence (or not) of a philosophy in Brazil that might deserve the ‘Brazilian’ qualification.”
