The reflections herein gathered differ from the mental forms of the conventional Brazilian, a meaning in which they exert a pedagogical and therapeutic function: peda-gogical because they explicit certain littleness of the Bra-zilian mental means, exalt values better than the trivial, clarify situation; that is, teach the reader how to interpret a given portion of the world and life with more lucidity. Therapeutic because, as he censures the censurable, he exalts the meritorious, denounces usages; Post Scriptum is virtually capable of inducing its readers to review their values and sub-values, behaviors and sub-behaviors and, therefore, contribute for (if you will pardon the expres-sion) “build a better world”, to revive the reader from some existential marasmus (in which, like the man of masses by Ortega y Gasset, the individuals unify themselves too much) and at least suscitate his reflections.
