Resumo: This article investigates the epistemological foundations of Francis Galton's eugenics based on Max Horkheimer's Critical Theory. Grounded on a bibliographical research, we analyze the texts in which the English polymath structured the rationality of his science-religion, contrasting them with the theoretical-critical diagnosis of the crisis of reason. We conclude that Horkheimer’s argument denouncing the enlightened roots of eugenics, despite not having been explored in historiography, remains fundamental to the understanding of the eugenic scientific rationality, which we denominated eugenic reason.

Baseados em uma pesquisa bibliográfica, analisamos os textos nos quais o polímata inglês estruturou a racionalidade de sua ciência-religião, contrapondo-os com o diagnóstico teórico-crítico de crise da razão. Concluímos que o argumento horkheimeriano que denunciou as raízes esclarecidas da eugenia, a despeito de não ter sido explorado na historiografia, continua fundamental para a compreensão da racionalidade científica eugenista, a qual denominamos razão eugênica.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)88887.569968/2020-0088887.644568/2021-0069-85engUniversidade Federal de São CarlosCâmpus São CarlosPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Educação - PPGEUFSCarCentro de Educação e Ciências Humanas - CECHCadernos de Filosofia Alemã: Crítica e Modernidade600Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEugeniaRazão eugênicaEsclarecimentoTeoria CríticaEugenicsEugenic reasonEnlightenmentCritical TheoryMax HorkheimerCIENCIAS HUMANAS::FILOSOFIACIENCIAS HUMANAS::HISTORIACIENCIAS HUMANASCrisis, end, or eclipse of reason?
