Notas sobre tradição e inovação na literatura

Abstract

The objective of this work is to analyze different ideas about the process of innovation in literature, its consequences and its main movements, and to analise the concepts of tradition and political skepticism. In tradition, the theoretical foundation will be given on authors such as Burke, Scruton, Kirke, Russel and Lewis. Political skepticism is a more restricted concept, created by Michael Oakeshott, found in the writings collected in The Politics of Faith and the Politics of Skepticism (1996), opposing the idea of political faith in the autonomy of the man to promote and accept change. In this perspective, this work will promote reflections about literature, especially in light of the profound philosophical, moral and political transformations that came with the crisis of modernity
