Abstract
The aim of this article is to analyze the work of Schwarz from the point of view of his approach - in its continuities and discontinuities - on the challenges and dilemmas of Brazilian social thought, which would be restricted, even in their most advanced aspects, as the one from the “Seminar of The Capital”, to the horizon of the modernization. It is assumed that it was the early transition of social sciences to literary/cultural critique which allowed Schwarz to build a particular view of the Brazilian society, society squared thought, that is, a view through a critical analysis of the intellectual/artistic experience of the time.
