Resumo
The Manchester School of Economics in the mid-l9th century and the Paulista "school of sociology" in the mid-20th are examined here as expressing representative intellectual concerns associated with Industrial development in England and Brazil. The prominence of the political economy in the first instance and, in a broad sense, sociology in the second leads us to ask why these two cases of "Westem" industrialism elicited two different sets of intellectual priorities. The conctusion suggested is that the Brazilian intellectual had first to come to terms with the whole national society and its historical trajectory before he could address specific problems posed by the advent of the industrial order. In England, on the other hand, philosophic and literary consensus on the national context had existed long before the Industrial Revolution. The new issues posed by industrialization were smoothly accommodated to inherited views of person, polity and society. So pervasive was this consensus that the "critical and militant" sociology of Marx and Engels could be relegated to other nations - even, eventually, "underdeveloped" ones that escaped its original premises. ln early indushial São Paulo there was no prevailing consensus on the national legacy. This created a priority requirement for a comprehensive vision of person, polity and society that sociologists have done their best to provide. Their inquines pose fresh quedes to modem Englishrnen about their own industrial past.
