Integral state
The Integral state theory (Portuguese: Teoria do Estado integral) is a political concept developed by Plínio Salgado as an Integralist conception of the state, deriving explicitly from his idea of the Integral man (Portuguese: Homem integral). Salgado understood modern state theory as inherently flawed, pointing out that its materialist basis saw human beings either from an economicist or political perspective and denied entirely their spiritual dimensions.
