Book, Philosophy explains Bolsonaro - by Paulo Ghiraldelli

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. Understanding – and explaining – Jair Bolsonaro is not a simple task. The interpretation of what the current president and his government does and represents goes far beyond traditional models of analysis. That's why Philosophy explains Bolsonaro, by Paulo Ghiraldelli Jr., arrives as a fundamental book: the author's critical, fierce and original look helps to observe Bolsonaro's Brazil from the logic of the current government - a logic outside the standards to which we are used to it. Controversial in form and without fear of confrontation in content, the philosopher dissects, in agile and brief chapters, the acts and, above all, the characters that lead perhaps the most profound rupture with the traditional patterns that we have seen in Brazilian political and cultural history – from Bolsonaro's three sons (known as 01, 02 and 03) to Olavo de Carvalho, including ministers Sérgio Moro and Paulo Guedes, as well as characters such as deputy Joice Hasselmann and chancellor Ernesto Araújo. Without forgetting the themes that most mobilize the minds – and anger – of the president and his followers: education, the environment, culture and, of course, former president Lula, the left and communism. With clarity, humor and a combative spirit, Ghiraldelli presents a text aimed at all readers willing to think.
