The philosophy of liberation: emergence and current events. An approach based on Enrique Dussel and Juan Carlos Scannone

Abstract

In the intellectual field, the so-called Philosophy of Latin American liberation is the most significant event in the seventies, specifically it arose in 1971 in Argentina, from the awareness of the structural injustice that then oppressed our continent (Scannone, 2009). Some years ago the political situation deteriorated, the last years of the 60's were turbulent years both internationally, continentally and nationally; In Argentina, the dictatorship of General J. Carlos Onganía had increasing opposition among popular groups (Dussel, 2017). Under these conditions, the philosophy of liberation is constituted as a movement, assuming two dimensions of primary importance in terms of its work, namely: the theoretical and ethical-political option for the poor, articulated in the praxis of liberation. Regarding the effort and intellectual commitment, the Philosophy of Liberation has had priority in the first half of the 70's (Cerruti, 2006).
