Raimundo de Farias Brito (July 24, 1862 â January 16, 1917) was a Brazilian philosopher and writer. His work, which integrates elements of neo-Kantianism and spiritualism, encompasses metaphysics, ethics, political philosophy, and jurisprudence.
Born in São Benedito, Farias Brito was raised in Sobral and later in Fortaleza, where he studied at the historic Liceu do Ceará (). He then moved to Pernambuco to enroll in the Recife Law School, where he attended lectures by the philosopher Tobias Barreto.
Once graduated, he began working as a public prosecutor, later transferring to Belém to teach at the city's law faculty (). An established author, he was appointed in 1909 to the chair of Logic at the traditional Colégio Pedro II, where he taught until his death.
