Historians of Latin American philosophy have paid relatively little
attention to the development of philosophical analysis in Latin
America. There are two reasons for this neglect: First, they have
been primarily concerned with the forma tive period of
philosophical development, in particular with the so called
"founders" of La ti n American philosophy. And second.
philosophical analysis did not become a noticeable philosophical
trend in Latin America until recent years. True. a nunber of Latin
American philosophers took notice of Moore. Russell. the members of
the Vienna Circle and other important figures in the analytic
movement qui te early. But these were isolated instances that
lacked the sustained effort and broad base indispensible to make a
serious impact in the development of Latin American philosophy.
That has changed now. There are not only good numbers of
philosophers who work within the analytic tradition, but also some
journals and institutes dedicated to the analytic mode of
philosophizing. It is. therefore. most appropriate to publish a
collection of articles which would introduce the reader of
philosophy to the most representative analytic material produced so
far in Latin America. Indeed. it is not only appropriate. but also
necessary. since most of the published analytic literature to date
is scattered in various journals, sometimes of difficult access.
Moreover, not all that has been published is representative of the
best already produced and of the potential that the movement has in
Latin America.
