Enrique Dussel is Latin America’s foremost philosopher, renowned
for his contributions to ethics, political philosophy, and
liberation theology. Designed for classroom use, this collection of
essays engages with Dussel’s encyclopedic work, making his
valuable contributions accessible to English-speaking students. In
addition to being one of the most original, prolific, and widely
known members of the Latin American Philosophy of Liberation
movement, Dussel has also made important contributions to world
philosophy, the history of philosophy, the history of the Catholic
Church in Latin America, and the understanding of Karl Marx. Dussel
famously engaged in a decade-long debate with Karl-Otto Apel on the
relationship between material and formal ethics—that is, between
an ethics of the community of life and an ethics of the community
of discourse—and he has produced novel interpretations and
analyses of the concepts of alterity, exteriority, the other, and
the world history of ethical systems. Most recently, Dussel
extended his work on an ethics of liberation into a politics of
liberation, developed over the course of three published volumes.
In this book, scholars from around the world assess Dussel’s work
in ways that are both appreciative and critical. Two essays by
Dussel bookend the volume: the collection opens with a
consideration of the (im)possibility of multiple modernities and
ends with an autobiographical trajectory of the philosopher’s
thinking. In addition to Dussel and the editors, the contributors
to this volume include Linda MartÃn Alcoff, Don Thomas Deere,
Oscar Guardiola-Rivera, Mario Sáenz Rovner, Alejandro A. Vallega,
and Jorge Zúñiga M.
