The concept of the noble savage from Rousseau, as interpreted in O Índio Brasileiro e a Revolução Francesa is a text that addresses the nature/culture dichotomy, valuable for anthropological scrutiny. With the objective of questioning Melo Franco's assertions regarding Brasil's place in intellectual history, I provoke a dialogue between Melo Franco and Roger Bartra. The reflection on the state of nature and culture, which since the XVI century has engaged Western literature, receives different analyses from both authors: methodological mistake or mythical reinvention.Downloads
