Arturo Andrés Roig: precursor da história intelectual latino-americana?

Abstract

Under the influence of the “linguistic turn”, around the last decades of the twentieth century, the project (or projects) of an Intellectual History in Latin America was based mainly on the criticism and the rupture with the “old” tradition of the Latin American History of Ideas. The goal of this article is relativize this sense of “rupture”, demonstrating how, amid the methodological reform proposals within the Latin American movement of the History of Ideas in the mid-1970s, some pillars that would later support the diverse perspectives an intellectual history in Latin America already were present, particularly in the contributions of the Argentinian philosopher and historian of ideas Arturo Andres Roig (1922-2012).
