Abstract

This article seeks to examine briefly a specific moment of the trajectory of political sociology in Brazil. After some general inferences and suggestions on the boundaries of political sociology — here understood as a specific scientific tradition within the universe of social sciences —the text concentrates on the analysis of the relation between such scientific practice and the ideological system as presented in the ideias of Oliveira Vianna, the main respresentative of one of the most powerful branches of the "Brazilian authoritarian thought".
