Carlos Cirne Lima - Philosopher

Carlos Cirne Lima was educated in Jesuit philosophy and theology until 1961, then shifted to modern philosophy, notably Hegel. He was a UFRGS professor until dismissed by the military regime in 1969. He worked as a CEO in Brazil and Germany, returning to UFRGS in 1979 as chair professor until retiring in 1990. He then taught at PUC until 2000 and UNISINOS until 2008, becoming emeritus professor. Married to Maria Tomaselli from 1965 until his death in 2020. 

“The most original dialogue between analytical and dialectical philosophy... More than a scholar of Hegel's teachings, Cirne-Lima created a philosophical thought of extreme importance for Brazilian Philosophy... He opened his extremely sophisticated and broad philosophical vision to dialogue with the sciences, especially Biology and evolutionary sciences.”
Ernildo Jacob Stein - philosopher, professor, and Brazilian writer
