The History of Ideas as a transdisciplinary vocation in José Sebastião da Silva Dias and José Esteves Pereira

Abstract

From the analytical perspective of the History of Historiography this article begins with the defense of a conciliation between History of Ideas, History of Intellectuals and Intellectual History. It begins with the outline of a theoretical essay. Two personalities, José Sebastião da Silva Dias and José Esteves Pereira, were approached in two chapters, who show a history of ideas different from the traditional one, the first from the mid-nineties until the 90s, creating a school, and the second until nowadays. The thesis that these scholars theoretically reflected on the history of the intellectuals, safeguarding an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspective, is essential to analyze some of the reviews that Silva Dias published in the first two years of the Revista Cultura História e Filosofia (1982-1983) and theoretical texts of his disciple.
