HOLANDA, Adriano Furtado. The phenomenological method in psychology: a Nilton Campos lecture. Estud. pesqui. psicol. []. 2012, 12, 3, pp.833-851. ISSN 1808-4281.
This work in the perspective of the History of Psychology is a part of a larger project, that aims to build the history of phenomenology in Brazil. Nilton Campos is responsible for the first publication that directly relates to the field of psychology Phenomenology in our Country. The work also seeks to shed light on the possible reasons that would justify the late development of phenomenological thought in Brazil. Based on a reading of his thesis competition and entitled The Phenomenological Method in Psychology, the work seeks to isolate the influences and authors involved in the development of their work, seeking to clarify the first ways of phenomenological psychology in the country. We point out relations with the thought of Brentano and the School of Berlin, and concludes by pointing out the contemporary work of Nilton Campos, its place in the history of psychology in Brazil, as well as his legacy in more recent authors such as Antonio Gomes Penna.
