Mário Ferreira dos Santos (pronounced as /pt-BR/; 1907–1968) was a Brazilian philosopher, translator, writer and anarchist activist. He was born in Tietê, São Paulo.[1]

Ferreira published, in less than fifteen years, the 45-volume Encyclopedia of Philosophical and Social Sciences.[2]

Philosophical work

Ferreira created a philosophical system called "concrete philosophy". The system was based on the méthode des démonstrations géométriques, which, according to Ferreira, no possibility of disagreement from its assumptions – which he called "theses". The first thesis is the foundation of his philosophy: "There is something whilst there isn't the absolute nothing", from which he draws other theses through the geometric methods.[3]

The list of Ferreira's works was first compiled by Olavo de Carvalho, who also discovered the division of Mário's encyclopedia into three "series".[4]
