COSTA, Breno Augusto da  and  MARTINS, Adriano Eurípedes Medeiros. Notes on the Reception of Álvaro Vieira Pinto’s Thought: the Vaz case and education in Consciência e Realidade Nacional. Educ. Real. [online]. 2019, vol.44, n.2, e83042.  Epub Apr 05, 2019. ISSN 2175-6236.  https://doi.org/10.1590/2175-623683042.

The aim of this paper is to discuss the evaluation done by padre Vaz focusing in the accusation of the presence of totalitarianism in the work of Vieira Pinto, Consciência e Realidade Nacional. One of the critiques done by padre Vaz is that the work does not restores any social, historical, cultural or political trait linked to Brazil, the other one accuses the possibility of an implicit totalitarianism in the work of Vieira Pinto. However both of the critiques do not match with the thought exposed in the work. The vazian evaluation became a reference which influenced the reception of the work of Vieira Pinto by a reductionist bias.

Keywords : Álvaro Vieira Pinto; Consciência e Realidade Nacional; Lima Vaz; Brazilian Philosophy; Education.
