The concept of “universal human community” in Guerreiro Ramos’ work

Abstract

This essay seeks to grasp, by thinking through Alberto Guerreiro Ramos’ “historical culture”, the concept of “universal human community”. It aims to contribute to the culture of human rights, especially when it comes to thinking of public management as a way to leverage substantive democracy and republican governance. Therefore, for a reflection on the “concept of universal human community”, we realize the need to address the issue from three comparative dimensions that, according to our viewpoint, go through Guerreiro Ramos’ sociological work: nationality and universal human; human management and working world; and, not least important, social science and associated human life.
