Passado, desenvolvimento e futuro: a relação entre História e Política na obra de três intelectuais do ISEB.

Abstract

This work intends to explore the relation between history and the formulation of political projects for the present at the books of three intellectuals of the Superior Institute of Brazilian Studies (ISEB). It intends to explore too which are the references of those authors. The first chapter analyses the work of Hélio Jaguaribe, one of the founder of ISEB and head leader of the Political Science Department. The second chapter is about Alberto Guerreiro Ramos, head leader of the Sociology department and congressist of the Brazilian Labour Party (PTB) after it. The concluding chapter is about Nelson Werneck Sodré, military army, professor of Brazilian History of ISEB and member of Brazilian Communist Party. The hypothesis of this work is that the ISEB was an important center of the national-development ideology that by the pass of the years went to the left until it was closed by the coup of 1964. The history was used by the ISEB s intellectual to understand the Brazil s particularities and the country problems to transform them in a way the Brazil becomes an autonomous country.
