Vita

Hélio Jaguaribe was the son of Francelina Jaguaribe Santos de Mattos and General Francisco de Mattos Jaguaribe , a geographer and cartographer who was a member of the Rondon Commission (Comissão Rondon) .

Jaguaribe studied from 1946 law at the Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro . In 1952 he started a project with a group of young social scientists to reformulate the understanding of Brazilian society.

In the following year he founded the Brazilian Institute of Economics, Sociology and Politics, the Instituto Brasileiro de Economia, Sociologia e Política (IBESP), of which he was Secretary General and Director. 1953 to 1956 the institute published the magazine Cadernos de Nosso Tempo (magazines of our time), which was influential in Brazil and Latin America .

From 1956 to 1958 he was instrumental in the development and political orientation of the social science university institute for Brazilian studies Instituto Superior de Estudos Brasileiros , ISEB, founded in 1955 on behalf of the Ministry of Education and Culture (Ministério da Educação e Cultura) , and became director of the associated Institute for Political Science, Departamento de Ciência Política .

After publicly condemning the 1964 military coup, he left Brazil and taught in the United States: from 1964 to 1966 at Harvard University , 1966 to 1967 at Stanford University, and from 1968 to 1969 at MIT, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology .

Returning to Brazil in 1969, he was director of international affairs at the Cândido Mendes University, founded in Rio de Janeiro in 1902, at the Universidade Candido Mendes . With the establishment of the Institute for Political and Social Studies ( Instituto de Estudos Políticos e Sociais , IEPES) in 1979 in Rio de Janeiro, he became dean there. In 2003, when he retired at the age of 80, he continued his research there.

Jaguaribe was involved in Brazilian politics: in 1985, during the reign of José Sarney , he was the coordinator of the societal reform “Projeto Brasil 2000”. In 1988 he was involved in the founding of the Social Democratic Party of Brazil, the Partido da Social Democracia Brasileira (PSDB) and in 1992 he was Minister of Science and Technology in the Fernando Collor de Mello government for a few months .

Jaguaribe died at the age of 95 and is buried in the Cemitério de São João Batista cemetery in Rio de Janeiro. He was married to Maria Lucia Charnaux Jaguaribe, with whom he had five children. His son is the diplomat and president of the Agência Brasileira de Promoção de Exportações e Investimentos (Apex-Brasil).

Scientific projects

From 1994 to 1999 Jaguaribe headed a research project "A Critical Study of History", the results of which were published in a two-volume study in 2001. The investigation was carried out under the auspices of UNESCO and supported by an advisory team of internationally renowned historians.

In this study, starting with the Sumerian - Akkadian , sixteen great civilizations were examined, which conditions influenced their formation, development and possibly their decay, and what conclusions can be drawn from this for a better understanding of our time and our position in the stream of history.

From 2004 Hélio Jaguaribe began another major study, “The position of man in the cosmos” ( O Posto do Homem no Cosmos ). The study published in 2006 attempts, based on the basic idea of Max Scheler's essay of the same name, published in 1928, to redefine the position of man in the cosmos based on the current state of science.
