This article reinscribes ideas and political projects of Jose Bonifacio de Andrada e Silva (1763-1838) in the dialectic between tradition and modernity, which had given the tone of the Luso-Brazilian illustrated reformism. For that, identifies the effort by making reforms to “amend the Old Kingdom”, the foundation of the project to “create a new nation.
