If it’s difficult to think of a meaning to the expression Brazilian philosophy, think of what it might mean a Brazilian colonial philosophy becomes even more challenging. To this, it will be necessary both the meaning and the scope of the issue in the period. We will do it in three steps: the first one situates the relationship between philosophy and coloniality in the constitution of the Portuguese America, considering the schools and the scope of the teaching in the colony, and it brings a brief state of the art of the research; the second one lists the corpora philosophica from the colleges of Maranhão, Pará, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso; and the third one characterizes the forms of the writings, the levels of the teaching in the colleges and teachers-authors and, finally, the main philosophical matrices that are recognizable in the colonial writings. So, regardless of the general difficulty of the question, we propose to confront directly this hypothesis: what does mean a Brazilian colonial philosophy?
