Más allá de la modernización y de la autenticidad. Un proyecto de metafilosofía práctica latinoamericana

Abstract

The guiding thread of this paper is that the problem of Latin American philosophy must be considered as a problem of metaphilosophy, i. e. a reflection on the conditions of the practice of philosophy in Latin American countries. The author claims that such practice has been dominated by two models, the model of modernization, and the model of authenticity. In his view, these models do not respond any more to the reality of philosophy in the region. He therefore proposes a new model, the dialogical, as a way to critically build philosophical traditions and communities in Latin American.
