“The ten essays gathered here move beyond a purely historical consideration of Latin American philosophy to cover recent developments in political & social philosophy, as well as innovations in the reception of key philosophical figures from the European Continental tradition such as Marx, Husserl, Heidegger, Foucault, & Derrida, among others. Topics such as indigenous philosophy, multiculturalism, the philosophy of race, democracy, postmodernity, the role of women, & position of Latin Americans in a global age are explored by important Latin American philosophers including Enrique Dussel, Jorge Gracia, Walter Mignolo, Ofelia Schutte, & Amós Nascimento.”
“A valuable introduction to the largely ignored field of Latin American philosophy . . . [It] outlines a novel approach to understanding the aimsnature, and function of Latin American philosophy. . . . Recommended”
