Mostly Auguste Comte's Positivism occupied this space. It was with this philosophy that Dario Vellozo spoke, mainly in his prose. In addition to the occultism, present in his vast work, Vellozo maintained Positivism in a high degree in his productions. This paper discusses some of these dialogues, showing the French philosophy in the main thoughts of Dario Vellozo, in the magazine O Cenáculo. This paper’s propose is to illuminate the mosaic that was the intellectual founder of the Neo-Pythagorean Institute.
