I want to especially acknowledge the help, support, and guidance that I was fortunate to receive from two great philosophers, Enrique Dussel and Jorge J. E. Gracia. At the University of San Francisco, where all the work for this book was done, I was supported by a unique group of friends: Pedro Lange-Churión, Lois Ann Lorentzen, and David Batstone. I also want to acknowledge the financial support from the Faculty De- velopment Fund at the University of San Francisco, which helped to pay for some of the translating for this book. I want to thank Elaine Katzenberg, editor at City- lights, for permission to use some images from the beautiful book by Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Enrique Chagoya, and Felicia Rice, Codex Espangliensis, which are now on the cover of this book. Acknowledgment is also due to David Pellauer, editor of Philosophy Today, for permission to reprint the essays by Jorge J. E. Gra- cia, Walter D. Mignolo, and Ofelia Schutte that first appeared in the journal. Above all, however, special thanks are due to Dee Mortensen, at Indiana Uni- versity Press, who for years had been asking me for something, and who with great enthusiasm and verve took this project under her wing. I am also particularly in- debted to Käthe Roth, who worked on this manuscript beyond the call of duty, and has thus made it more readable, and Jane Lyle, who saw it through produc- tion efficiently and in a timely fashion. Eduardo Mendieta Stony Brook, New York Latin American Philosophy Introduction EDUARDO MENDIETA In the imaginary worlds of Jorge Luis Borges, from which spew forth—as if by magical incantation—improbable but not impossible creatures, antinomian but not ontological contradictions, there exist encyclopedias that, by virtue of having entries on improbable subjects, such as the cities of Tlön and Uqbar, make these subjects real. In Borges’s world, books become gateways to other worlds or, as in the recent Pixar production Monsters Inc., portals through which the dream world irrupts into the “real” world, which is but a fiction anyway. But the reality of the world system of book publication seems to operate in reverse fashion to Borges’s world. In this “real” world of nicely packaged books, prodigiously advertised and peddled tomes, and hefty volumes of “companions,” encyclopedias, and dictio- naries, the absence of entries on Latin American philosophy and philosophers sug- gests, as if by conspiracy, that neither existed or exist.1 An unsuspecting young philosopher, browsing wide-eyed, pliant and expectant, naive and eager, trudging and flipping through numerous pages of recently published volumes on everything from Asian philosophies to world philosophies, would walk away without having noticed what she was not looking for, which betrays precisely what these sorts of books are all about. As I have documented elsewhere, one of the most amazing things about the bibliographical work on philosophy published in English over the last decade or so is its utter silence about Latin American philosophy and philoso- phers.2 Of course, if our young philosopher were to venture beyond these volumes, and beyond the mainstream venues of publication, she would find numerous books, articles, and anthologies on Latin American philosophy and its practi- tioners. There are therefore conceptual and philosophical reasons for publishing a book like the one that you, the reader, hold in your hands—reasons that have to do with the logic of exclusion and erasure that has resulted in a loud silence about an obvious topic. Further, this book is intended to be a resource that can be use- ful to both scholars and teachers. Latin American philosophy has a history of at least five hundred years of pro- duction and an accumulation of reflections covering all major areas of philosophy. Thus, philosophical thought has a very long lineage on this side of the Atlantic. Latin America has generative sources in meso-American and pre-Columbian forms of wisdom. Aztec, Maya, and Inca thought have slowly filtered through not just the imaginary of Latin American peoples and their lingua francas, but also 2 Eduardo Mendieta through that of organic intellectuals, party functionaries, and university profes- sors. In fact, some of the most interesting work in Latin American thought has emerged from a confrontation with these indigenous philosophical traditions. Latin American philosophy became the crucible for many philosophical currents and methods that originated in Europe and were later forced into exile in the New World. Some of these currents arrived in Latin America before they arrived in North America. Thus, Latin American philosophy was and is the place for both creative synthesis and innovative initiative. It has participated in and chronicled the projects of continental and national liberation from European colonialism and has grown to be the continental and spiritual sibling of North American liberal, democratic, and revolutionary ideals. Finally, Latin American philosophy is one of the primary veins of New World thinking, which combines Old World think- ing with pre-Columbian thinking. The parallels with North America—that is, the United States and Canada, with apologies to those who insist that Mexico is also in North America—are unmistakable. As philosophers try to make sense of the traditions, currents, and forms of thought that have emerged in the New World, we will begin to speak of “American philosophy.” From this geo-historical and geo-political vantage point, Latin American philosophy is an integral chapter in the history of American philosophy, along with those on pre-Columbian, Amer- ican, and Canadian philosophies. In Latin America, as a continental unit, not- withstanding the internal subdivisions, we find a series of common preoccupa- tions, themes, questions, even forms of writing and communicating (and here the obvious parallel is so-called Continental philosophy, which can and should be studied in terms of its geographical units—Germany, Italy, Spain, England, France, and so on—without detracting from its unmistakable unity and identity). The reasons for studying Latin American philosophy are indeed many, and only obdurate ideological blindness and stubborn provincialism can render those of us in the English-speaking academic and intellectual world immune to its challenges and insights, as well as its vigor and creativity. Anthologies such as this one are not unlike city maps: they are circumscribed by the aims of their potential users and designers. This book is aimed at English- speaking audiences, who may use it to broaden or sharpen their knowledge of Latin American thinking. But the goals of the work can be couched more simply: to offer the reader a sampling of the most recent topical and creative work in phi- losophy being produced by Latin Americans, reflecting on Latin America, even if they are not in Latin America. This is not a historically oriented anthology. It is an anthology about what is most contemporary in Latin American thinking. Fur- ther, it is meant to interject in the debates about the sources and chronology of Latin American philosophy by offering a version of the way that works of Latin American philosophy should be analyzed.

  • Creativity Book 2013
    CREATIVITY : PRODUCT , PROCESS , PERSONALITY , ENVIRONMENT AND TECHNOLOGY 2 SANDRA I. KAY DESIGNING ELEGANT PROBLEMS FOR CREATIVE THINKING Creative thinkers seek elegance in their work. An aesthetic sensibility accompanies creative work from the original vision or motivation to its use in identifying what many creators describe as an ‘elegant solution’. Examples of this characteristic can be identified in most, if not all fields. If one defines creative thought in develop- mental terms, as “a process in which the individual finds, defines, or discovers an idea or problem not predetermined by the situation or task” (Kay 1989, p.65), then the importance of guidance by an aesthetic sensibility becomes more visible. We can see elegant solutions all around us. This chapter will look at what has been said about elegant solutions by a few creative producers and a few examples of elegant solutions that can affect our environment prior to introducing the con- cept of elegant problems. Elegant Problems address the what, not the how of creative teaching and learning. Aesthetic Sensibility, Deep Problems and Elegant Solutions in the Sci- ences The ability to appreciate the beauty of a solution has been noted by scientists, mathematicians, and artists. The term ‘Elegant Solution” is used across disciplines and time to describe the result of creative thought. For example, Campbell (1960) cites its importance with the words of the mathematician Poincare: The useful combinations are precisely the most beautiful, I mean those best able to charm this special sensibility that all mathematicians know, but of which the profane are so ignorant as often to be tempted to smile at it….

  • The Nineteenth-Century Thomist from the Far East:
    The Nineteenth-Century Thomist from theF ar East: Cardinal Zeferino González, OP (1831–1894) Levine Andro H. Lao1 Center for Theology, Religious Studies and Ethics University of Santo Tomás, Manila, Philippines Abstract: In light of the celebration of the five centuries of Christianity in the Philippines, this article hopes to reintroduce Fr. Zeferino González, OP, to scholars of Church history, philosophy, and cultural heritage. He was an alumnus of the University of Santo Tomás, a Cardinal, and a champion of the revival of Catholic Philosophy that led to the promulgation of Leo XIII’s encyclical Aeterni Patris. Specifically, this essay presents, firstly, the Cardinal’s biography in the context of his experience as a missionary in the Philippines; secondly, the intellectual tradition in Santo Tomás in Manila, which he carried with him until his death; and lastly, some reasons for his once-radiant memory to slip into an undeserved forgetfulness. Keywords: Zeferino González, Thomism in Asia, Aeterni Patris, Christian Philosophy, History of Philosophy n the 1880s, the University of Santo Tomás had two grand celebrations that were associated with Fr. Zeferino González, OP (1831–1894).
