The original intuition in the philosophy of José Vasconcelos

Abstract

In 1905 José Vasconcelos writes his Dynamic theory of civil law, jurisprudence thesis apparently anodyne and without any interest. Its simplicity is far from his later works on spiritualism from 1910 to 1929 and more so from the system covered from 1929 to 1959. Therefore, it is in his youth writing that we perceive a unique mind. This original discontinuity based on intuition directs and promotes his works beyond language, and invites us to reevaluate the Vasconcelos thought not as political or temperamental, but strictly philosophical.
