Boaventura de Sousa Santos e a lógica do pensamento abissal: uma análise a partir do método dialético

Abstract

Seeks to analyze the dialectic in Boaventura de Sousa Santos perspective from the application of the society division ideology by cartographic lines that segregate the "visible" – what's on the "here" line – from the "invisible" – the other end. The work presents a construction based on the several meanings that the expression can take including its use as a method in the scientific research in social sciences. Finally, the Post-Critical theory orientation contributes to the analysis of the dialectic, by presenting itself – according to Santos – as the most appropriate to the current time: postmodernity.
