Resumo: | This article was originally entitled Book Classification and it was published in the second half of the 19th century in an American journal called The Journal of Speculative Philosophy (v. 4, no. 2, 1870, pages 114-129). Its author is a reformist philosopher and educator, William Torrey Harris (1835-1909), also from the U.S. By making public a system of book classification developed by Harris himself for the public school libraries of the city of Saint Louis, Missouri, the article had a major influence in the history of the construction of bibliographic classifications in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As Harris proposed a book arrangement inspired by Francis Bacon’s narrative (mental faculties = memory, imagination and reason), but conducted theoretically by the Hegelian perspective of setting reason -- and, thus, Philosophy and Science -- as the primary elements, Harris’s classification received wide visibility in North America and was the foundation for Dewey’s Decimal Classification, which, in its turn, would become one of the most influential bibliographic classifications in the Western world. The theoretical and historic importance of Harris’s classification motivated the translation of this article, originally written in American English, to Brazilian Portuguese. We would like to stress that the translators sought to respect and maintain the author’s style, which followed that of the 19th century. |

Ao tornar público um sistema de classificação de livros desenvolvido pelo próprio Harris para a rede de bibliotecas das escolas públicas da cidade de St. Louis (USA), o artigo acabou exercendo uma influência definitiva na história da construção das classificações bibliográficas, no período que marca a virada do século XIX para o século XX. Ao propor um arranjo de livros inspirado pela narrativa de Francis Bacon (faculdades mentais = memória, imaginação e razão), mas conduzido teoricamente pela perspectiva hegeliana que dá primazia à razão, e, portanto, à Filosofia e à Ciência, a classificação de Harris ganhou notoriedade na América do Norte e serviu de base para a construção da Classificação Decimal de Dewey que, por sua vez, se tornaria uma das mais influentes classificações bibliográficas do mundo ocidental. A importância histórica e teórica da classificação de Harris motivou a tradução deste artigo, originalmente escrito em inglês americano, para a língua portuguesa do Brasil. É importante frisar que os tradutores procuraram ao máximo manter a estilística do texto do autor, própria do século XIX.
