Ludwik Fleck’s reception in Brazil

From an anonymous visitor to a renowned thinker

Abstract

The main purpose of this article is to provide a type of general framework of Ludwik Fleck’s reception in Brazil. Although this is not strictly a review of Fleck’s work – what I did in some papers before – we can use some of Fleck’s concepts to understand how his ideas have spread in Brazil. In other words, how was the genesis and development of Fleck’s thought-style in different thought collective in Brazil.
