Abstract

Abstract: Humanitism, the philosophical system of the character Quincas Borba, whom Machado de Assis created in order to satirize the Darwinism and Positivism of his time, anticipates certain key themes of the literary vanguards of the twentieth century and the 1928 “Cannibal Manifesto” of Oswald de Andrade.
