Enrique Dussel and the Philosophy of Liberation. Life and Thought

Abstract

No one could deny that Enrique Dussel's greatness as a philosopher is in his own genuine way of looking at the world and interpreting it. No one like him has been able to show us so clearly that the limits of western thought and its many contradictions or errors are founded on the selfishness of having proclaimed itself the legitimate owner of the world and its history. And, for this reason, no one like Dussel himself has left us as inheritance the historical proposal of a new policy that has its eyes on the innocent victim, who could not live, and who dies in his poor and excluded world. In this sense, the real possibility of "a new world where many worlds fit" is a question that has motivated Liberation Ethics and Politics from the beginning to build itself architecturally and critically.
