RESUMO Estuda o perfil intelectual e politico de Joaquim Pimenta e a sua compreensao da sociedade brasileira. Analisa o pensamento daquele teorico sobre o individualismo propugnado pelos partidarios do liberalismo e o coletivismo ortodoxo praticado pelos defensores do comunismo. Procura demonstrar que, entre essas duas vertentes, Pimenta procurou uma terceira via politica, onde o coletivo e o individual dependessem um do outro, ao inves de se excluirem, acalentando a hipotese do surgimento de um “socialismo pimentista”. Constata que, ainda que tenha sido capaz de estabelecer os principios ideologicos que norteariam a consecucao dos seus objetivos, na praxis politica Joaquim Pimenta contraditaria o seu proprio ideario. ABSTRACT The political philosophy of Joaquim Pimenta. v. 20, n. 2., p. 423-446, jul./dez. 1992. Studies the intellectual and political profile of Joaquim Pimenta and his undertanding of Brazilian Society. Analyzes his thought about individualism as proposed by liberalism as well as about he orthodox collectivism claimed by communists. Argues for, between those trends, Pimenta tried a third political path in which the collective and the individual would be dependent one to another, grounded on the hypothesis of the emergence of a “pimentist socialism”. Observes that, although had been able to set up the ideological tenets to his political goals, his praxis was contradictory in relation to his ideas on politics and society. RESUME La philosophie politique de Joaquim Pimenta. v. 20, n. 2, p. 423-446, jul./dez. 1992. L'auteur etudie le profil intellectuel et politique de Joaquim Pimenta et l'idee qu'il se faisait de la societe bresilienne. Dans ce but, il analyse son idee sur l'individualisme, defendu par les partisans du liberalisme et le collectivisme ortodoxe pratique par les defenseurs du communisme. Il montre que parmi ces deux tendances Pimenta en a cherche une troisieme ou le collectif et l'individuel, au lieu de s'exclure, dependent l'un de l'autre, entrevoyant l'hypothese de l'apparition d'un socialisme pimentiste. Bien qu'il semble capable d'etablir les principes ideologiques qui conduiraient a la consecution de ses objectifs, Joaquim Pimenta, dans la praxis politique contredirait ses propres idees.
