As origens do movimento latino-americano de história das ideias

Abstract

The article intends to analyse comparatively contributions from the Spanish philosopher exiled in Mexico, José Gaos (1900-1969), and also from the Argentinian philosopher of Spanish origin, Francisco Romero (1891-1962), to establish the intellectual movement of the Latin-American history of ideas, around 1940. It is intended to reveal how both philosophers would initiate, independently and in parallel way, a large and intense work of production, organization, guidance, support and dissemination regarded to the studies of history of ideas, initially restricted to the extent of their respective countries.
