Latin America - its people, its politics, its economy - has burst
upon the world scene with powerful images that have captured the
curiosity of many English-speaking North Americans. The strategic
importance of this vast region to the stability of the Western
Hemisphere serves to accentuate the need for a thoughtful
contemporary exploration of its philosophical underpinnings. More
than thirty years have passed since a representative collection of
readings by major twentieth-century Latin American philosophers was
made available in English. Jorge J E Gracia fills this
long-standing gap by harvesting some of the best minds whose work
is synonymous with quintessential Latin American scholarship.The
selections in this valuable compendium combine the richness, the
diversity, and the extraordinary intensity of fourteen great
thinkers - the result of which is nothing less than a testament to
the philosophical power that is unmistakably Latin American.
Translations are provided for carefully chosen readings from the
major works of Carlos Astrada, Augusto Salazar Bondy, Antonio
Casio, Alejandro Octavio Deustua, Carlos Vaz Ferreira, Risieri
Frondizi, Alejandro Korn, Francisco Miro Quesada, Samuel Ramos,
Miguel Reale, Arturo Andres Roig, Francisco Romero, Jose
Vasconcelos, and Leopoldo Zea. These fascinating theorists are
brought together to address the themes of interpreting man, his
values, and his continuous search for philosophical identity.The
text is designed to guide students and professionals alike in their
study of Latin American philosophy, and to serve as a point of
departure for further investigation. Substantial introductory
essays and short bio-bibliographical notes on the contributors
chart the history of Latin American thought in this century - a
history steeped in European and North American influences as well
as emergent liberation movements from within.
