Sumario:This article aims to pay tribute to the social scientist Carlos Estevam Martins by reflecting on the figure of the intellectual in the contemporary world. The premise is that a transfiguration is taking place, reinforcing the trend towards overspecialization that hinders intellectuals from engaging in civic ideas and passion. Paradoxically, however, this same transfiguration requires the intellectual's active presence as a character capable of producing meanings and totalizations, and thereby collaborating with the political community to discover more advanced forms of self-awareness.
