Abstract

This article analyzes the works in which Caio Prado Jr. deals with methodological and philosophical issues, trying to understand in first place how he formulated the main concepts of dialectics and how he linked them to philosophical tradition, specially that of Hegel and of Marx. Secondly, in this context the concept of meaning is analyzed in its full dialectical complexity, and only then its non-reductionist understanding in the historians work could be achieved.
