Latin American Philosophy, Recognition, Intellectual History, IdeasAbstract
This paper examines the debate concerning the existence of a distinct philosophy in Latin America, addressing issues of identity and the relevance of a philosophy engaged with its reality. It delves into the perspective of authors like Leopoldo Zea and Augusto Salazar Bondy, who emphasize the relevance of a philosophy rooted in the reflection of local problems yet capable of offering universal insights. Furthermore, it explores the methodology known as new intellectual history, influenced by Ludwig Wittgenstein’s philosophy of language from the perspective of Quentin Skinner, which enables an understanding of how ideas are interpreted in the Latin American context. Finally, it discusses the considerations on recognition by Judith Butler and Arturo Roig, and the possibility of social transformation, highlighting the importance of validating and valuing diverse identities and experiences.
