“…It is not by chance that Brazil and France adopted positivism as a symbol of national development in the nineteenth century. It is not by chance either that, by the end of his life, August Comte left his more conservative phase 15 (Pickering, 1993) in relation to the position of women in science and in the wider society. Floresta was a very influential force in making the issue of the education of women a topic within positivist circles (Floresta, 1989, cited in Lima Duarte, 1989.…”

This article offers a perspective on how the proposed conceptualisation of the idea of displacement can be used to analyse processes of knowledge formation and transformation brought about by the movement of intellectuals in modernity. It develops a theoretical framework that considers the acts of cultural mediation and spatial displacement as key aspects for understanding the structures of knowledge and cultural interpretation produced in the formation of modernity. Making use of historical–sociological tools, it examines biographical information along with the intellectual contributions of two female intellectuals, Flora Tristan (1803–1844) and Nísia Floresta (1810–1855). This contribution seeks to re-address the problem how to understand modernity from a decentred point of view. It procdeds by discussing how the history of modernity and its different cultural manifestations should be analysed with greater attention to practices of mediation and theoretical interpretations as developed by lesser-known intellectuals. Thus, the article also contributes to analysing the agency of women intellectuals in the history of modernity.

“…16 It has occurred to me that Caldwell's fundamental sympathy with this position encouraged him to present it as more continuous with what came later in Hayek's career, but also prevented him from delving deeper into its philosophical provenance. 17 For this, see (Pickering, 1993;Stonier, 1943). An example of Hayek's tendentious interpretation of Rickert is his (1962).…”

Naturalizing the market on the road to revisionism: Bruce Caldwell'sHayek's challengeand the challenge of Hayek interpretation

Bruce Caldwell's Hayek's Challenge should be welcomed as the first serious book on one of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century. However, this review begins by pointing out a number of curious omissions and silences concerning Hayek's career in the book. We propose that the key to understanding the turns and reversals in his thought lay in his politics, and not as Caldwell has it, in some abstract philosophical doctrines. Central to that thesis is Hayek's fostering the development of Neoliberalism through such institutional structures as the Mont Pèlerin Society.
