To philosophize from Latin America, to philosophize par excellence

  • Leopoldo Zea

Abstract

To do philosophy, in our times, is no longer to create metaphysics, ethics or aesthetics, nor is it to be up to date with what is done in Europe and the United States on this. The problems of our philosophy are the same as those of Western philosophy. It is not about seeking the good par excellence nor the metaphysical being, but rather to coexist with the others, our fellow men, with their diverse and inescapable expressions. It is about sharing what together they have done in the long history of imperial domination. A concern that is not at odds with logic, epistemology or the virtual technique of our times. Because the more we are able to recognize and to act upon our reality as nature and to relat to the others without manipulating them, more possible utopias will be.
