Abstract

The article intends to pay tribute to the late Prof. Dr. Carlos Velho Cirne-Lima, who died on July 2, 2020. The intellectual trajectory of Prof. Cirne-Lima, as it was known, was marked by a constant overcoming of contradictions, since its passage by the religious order of the Jesuits, by its performance in the magisterium during the period of the military dictatorship and by the position assumed before the Hegelian system. Along with Cirne-Lima, we present two more Brazilian exponents, Newton da Costa and Luiz Sérgio Coelho Sampaio, who, in their own way, point to something that escaped the project of modernity: contradictions and differences. Cirne-Lima formalizes the Hegelian system based on logical-mathematical operators, establishing contrariety, instead of contradiction, as a principle of system coherence.

Key words: Contrariety; Contradiction; System; Hegel; Cirne-Lima.
