Abstract
This article proposes a classification of Brazilian thought focused on the main social places that have continuously fostered intellectual production about the country. This proposition is based on the revision of established classifications of national social and political thought and on some exemplary works on the interpretation of Brazil. Mappings of our thought are not so numerous and there is no taxonomy that favors social, institutional or class spaces through which, historically, national intellectuals explain the country. Such social places, which frequently anchor reflections dedicated to the Brazilian reality, are: the market, the Nation-State, the university (and similar institutions) and, finally, the social classes and popular movements.
