DESCRIPTION:This paper aims to examine notions of science and madness in 
 O Alienista (1881) by Machado de Assis. It focuses on how the plot struc
 ture of the novella satirises the progressive philosophy of history and 
 science in Comtean Positivism. Simultaneously\, the narrator approximate
 s Bacamarte\, the alienist of the title\, to Don Quijote de La Mancha (1
 605) by Cervantes\, creating a spatial and temporal anachronism. These t
 wo opposing movements critique the limits and contradictions of Positivi
 st philosophy in Brazil at the end of the nineteenth century.\n\nhttps:/
