Resumo: | In the paper, we will study Olavo de Carvalho’s thought, focusing on his position regarding Brazilian and American Black movement in its struggle for reparation in terms of colonialism-slavery-racism. We will argue that his refusal of any reparatory praxis to political-cultural minorities and his position of a non-place for Black-African traditions in the context of Western culture/civilization, as with respect to his defense of the inferiority of Black-African culture-civilization when compared to Jewish-Christian, Greek-Latin and Medieval-Renaissance tradition, is pervaded by a dualist metaphysics with a highly anti-modern and anti-modernizing character, in which the dynamic of streamlining of “human drama about universe and eternity” is constituted (a) by the struggle between natural necessity (Behemont) and individual consciousness (Leviathan), that can only be won by the correlation of divine grace given by Jesus Christ and personal direct and immediate interiorization and intuition by each individual with God; (b) by the refusal of politics, history and intersubjective action as basically materialism and, in this sense, as the sphere of totalitarian political ideologies (to which Enlightnment modernity is the biggest example); and, finally, (d) by the centrality of spiritualism, of intimate and direct relation between God and man, mediated by Revelation, which points to the non-existence, in the Olavo de Carvalho’ thought, of objective parameters to rational discussion, interaction and justification – that is the reason of his delegitimation of science, politics, history and macro-structural institutional action, and his appeal to methodological, intuitionist and spiritualist individualism. |

Argumentaremos que sua recusa de qualquer práxis reparatória para com as minorias político-culturais e sua posição de um não-lugar das tradições negro-africanas no contexto da cultura/civilização ocidental, incluindo-se sua defesa da inferioridade da cultura/civilização negro-africana quando comparada com a tradição judaico-cristã, greco-latina e medieval-renascentista, são fundadas por uma metafísica dualista com caráter altamente antimoderno e antimodernizante, em que a dinâmica específica que perpassa o “drama humano frente ao universo e à eternidade” se caracteriza (a) pela luta entre necessidade natural (Behemot) e consciência individual (Leviatã), a qual só pode ser vencida pela correlação de graça divina por Jesus Cristo e interiorização e intuição pessoais, diretas, imediatas e imediadas por parte de cada indivíduo para com Deus; (b) pela recusa da política, da história e da ação intersubjetiva, afirmadas como materialismo e, nesse sentido, como lugar das ideologias políticas totalitárias (do qual a modernidade iluminista é o maior exemplo); e, finalmente, (c) pela centralidade do espiritualismo, da relação íntima e direta entre Deus e homem, mediada pela Revelação, o que aponta para a inexistência, no pensamento de Olavo de Carvalho, de parâmetros objetivos de discussão, de interação e de justificação racionais – daí, inclusive, sua deslegitimação da ciência, da política, da história e da ação institucional macroestrutural, e seu apelo ao individualismo metodológico intuicionista-espiritualista.Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia2021-10-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-ReviewedEvaluados por los paresAvaliados pelos paresapplication/pdfhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/265710.31977/grirfi.v21i3.2657Griot : Revista de Filosofia; v. 21 n. 3 (2021); 351-3742178-1036reponame:Griot : Revista de Filosofiainstname:Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)instacron:UFRBporhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/2657/1493Copyright (c) 2021 Fernando Danner, Leno Francisco Dannerhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDanner, Fernando Danner, Leno Francisco 2021-10-28T13:44:42Zoai:seer.www.ufrb.edu.br:article/2657Revistahttp://www.ufrb.edu.br/griot/PUBhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/oai||griotrevista@gmail.com2178-10362178-1036opendoar:2021-10-28T13:44:42Griot : Revista de Filosofia - Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)false |
