In this article we analyze the idea of political anthropology in the writings of Henrique Cláudio de Lima Vaz. To this end, we will first present the central points of his reflections on philosophical anthropology and then some of his conceptions of politics. Following this, we will investigate different perspectives of political anthropology in his work. In our view, reflection on political anthropology can help us understand the human condition in different societies.
