A dupla dimens？o do movimento latino-americano de história das ideias

the goal of this article is to analyze the double dimension of the intellectual movement of history of ideas, organized in latin america in the 1940s, under the leadership of the prominent mexican philosopher leopoldo zea (1912-2004). the first dimension, known as 'disciplinary project,' sets the grounds for a history of ideas in latin america as a specific subject, including the philosophical, epistemological, theoretical, and methodological assumptions used as a foundation for his work. the second dimension, called 'extradisciplinary project,' is characterized by a pragmatic as well as an identity function assigned to the latin american history of ideas by the representatives of the movement. ultimately, the main objective of this work is to reflect upon the intimate relationship between these two dimensions or approaches, that is, between the history of ideas discipline and its functions.
