Resumo

This paper explores some philosophical questions regarding the tale “Conversation Among Oxen”, from Sagarana, of Joao Guimaraes Rosa. Two philosophical questions are addressed. The first regards the carter Agenor Soronho ethics; the second is related to the narrative of Rodapiao ox, which refers to knowledge theory and ontology. The unfortunate destiny of both characters, as well as some passages of the author’s correspondence, points towards a criticism against Cartesian rationalism and to utilitarian ethics. Simultaneously, the tale renders classical philosophy and literature questions into the backcountry scenario.
