The work is based on Gildo Marçal Brandão's free teaching thesis who, taking up the concepts of “utopian idealism” and “organic idealism” originally formulated by Oliveira Vianna, proposes to think about “lineages” of Brazilian political and social thought. Within this project, we start from Vianna's own criticism of Rui Barbosa, accusing the latter of being a “utopian idealist”, which, in short, would mean giving excessive importance to constitutional models to the detriment of the socio-cultural reality. At this point, Oliveira Vianna, intending to carry out his “culturological” analysis of the country, defines himself as an “organic idealist”. The objective of the work is, therefore, to review the Oliveira Vianna's critique of Rui Barbosa. For its development, we will revisit the period of the First Republic, period in which Rui Barbosa lived and worked intensely. In this way, we will also analyze Rui's political positions, with emphasis on its contribution and interpretation regarding the 1891 constitution, which marked the transition from the monarchic to the republican period.
