This text aims to attentively examine some aspects of what Schwarz understood as negative critique as well as to identify in his writings the foundations of a critical program in this direction. In order to do so, we will be taking a look at some works, interviews and presentations by the above mentioned author and a few comments made by Paulo Arantes on Brazilian social and political thought in general and on Schwarz's ideas in particular. In addition to a theoretical digression on the influences of european critical theory on the thinking of the literary critic. Based on all this we are confident about demonstrating that Schwarz structures a certain negative critique or dialectics, from which we can infer a search for a radical critique of the world capitalist order and of the commodity realm, along with its inequalities.
