Why isn't it a Brazilian philosophy?

Brazilian philosophy is considered non-existent or unimportant by the Brazilian philosophical community. Most philosophy graduates go through the course without reading a text by a Brazilian philosopher or even hearing the name of a native philosopher. The lack of prestige of the topic draws attention. This text seeks to defend the possibility of a Brazilian philosophy. We present the most common objections to the topic and try to refute them, later we present the established historiography on the subject and finally we expose what we consider a Brazilian philosophy could be. The research is bibliographic in nature and essayistic in nature.
