%X the adventure of the critic. the aim of this paper is to reply the critical observations made by fernandes, rego and gala in this number of revista de economia pol¨ªtica about a paper of mine, also published in this same journal in january 2006, which deals with the relationship between economics and rethoric and its unfolding in brazil. answering these critical observations i have tried to show that: a) it is not easy, as they do, to associate habermas£¿s project to the defense of the approach of rethoric in economics; habermas himself has a lot of objections to the association of his project with rorty£¿s pragmatism which seems to be the strongest mccloskey£¿s influence; b) it is not true that my considerations have a kind of epistemological immunity and that they are not liable to contestations; if it seems so it is because the nature of the materialistic approach itself. at the end i observe that my carpers didn£¿t reply my observations about the unfolding of the rethorical project in brazil and that this is, at some measure, surprising, because they are central personages in it.
