In the history of thought, Tarcísio Padilha is one of the names that keeps being returned to.
The record lists Tarcísio Padilha as Brazilian philosopher (1928–2021).
Tarcísio Padilha was born at Rio de Janeiro in 1928. His recorded nationality is Brazil. He studied at Rio de Janeiro State University and Fluminense Federal University.
Twentieth-century philosophy was marked by war, exile and ideology; many of its central figures wrote in flight or under censorship.
His academic posts were held at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.
The discipline keeps its dead in print, because the arguments are still open.
That the work was done from Brazil matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Tarcísio Padilha died in 2021, aged 93. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
