Dussel offers a counter-reading of the philosophical canon from the perspective of people excluded from dominant systems. Through his engagement with dozens of major philosophers, Dussel builds a systematic ethical philosophy aimed at human liberation and emancipation. To engage and assess Dussel’s counter-reading, we will also study Kant’s Groundwork, the introduction to Hegel’s Philosophy of History, John Stuart Mill’s Utilitarianism, Marx’s Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts and Theses on Feuerbach, Rawls’ seminal essays on justice as fairness, and Nobel Peace Laureate Rigoberta Menchú’s autobiography.

  • And Political Transformation in Enrique Dussel's Twenty Theses On
    Culture, ‘The People,’ and Political Transformation in Enrique Dussel’s Twenty Theses on Politics Robert Cavooris Prof. Rob Albro Spring 2011 General University Honors Cavooris 2 “How is it possible to get out of Egypt?” 1 If there were ever a question that screamed liberation, this is it. The forlorn, excluded, and oppressed Hebrew slaves plan an escape into the desert, ready to risk it all in order to shed their chains. But why? What sparks this questioning, and what characterizes the moment in which they actually choose to act? These are difficult questions to say the least, and these are the very questions that Enrique Dussel’s politics of liberation seeks to answer. Liberation, in this conception, is freedom from all forms of domination, from the largest international disparities in power between, to the domestic repression of one person by her partner. In this sense, the question of liberation is always contextual and contingent in form, yet universally. In this discussion, I will examine how Enrique Dussel addresses liberation as a political question in his introductory text on the subject, Twenty Theses on Politics. In this text, he employs a number of unique concepts and philosophical understandings to explain his view of how politics can lead to empirical liberation, drawing all the time on the particular experience of Latin Americans in pursuit of this goal. Two important concepts that come out of this discussion are culture , which holds a unique and, I argue, contradictory position in his theory, and “the people, ” a recurring collective political actor that Dussel places at the center of political progress.

  • Enrique Dussel's Ethics of Liberation
    Enrique Dussel’s Ethics of Liberation “Felicito y agradezco el tiempo de su vida que Frederick Mills se ha tomado en introducir una flosofía elaborada en el desconocido Sur global, como práctica de un diálogo Norte-Sur, que vaya descolonizando la flosofía eurocéntrica y la abra al horizonte mundial que está lentamente surgiendo en nuestro planeta glo- balizado, que enfrenta el riesgo de un eminente suicidio colectivo ecológico de la modernidad.” —Enrique Dussel, Ciudad de México “Frederick Mills’s Enrique Dussel’s Ethics of Liberation: An Introduction is a very clearly written, comprehensive presentation of the ethics of liberation philos- opher Enrique Dussel. Mills provides a biography of Dussel and expounds his work, dealing with its Levinasian origins, the analectical methodology, the basic liberation principles of his monumental Ética de la Liberación, the implications of Dussel’s corpus for politics and economics, and its potential for the development of a planetary humanism. Mills is thoroughly acquainted with the massive litera- ture on liberation philosophy, and he never loses sight of the victims of Western instrumental rationality on behalf of whom this work, as well as Dussel’s philoso- phy of liberation, is written.” —Michael Barber, author of Ethical Hermeneutics: Rationality in Enrique Dussel’s Philosophy of Liberation (1998) “Dr. Frederick Mills’s new work, Enrique Dussel’s Ethics of Liberation, is a phil- osophically masterful exploration of, and lucidly insightful commentary on the work of a Latin American thinker who is possibly the most distinguished living philosopher of liberation. Focusing radical humanist and liberatory ethics, MIlls’s book shows not only penetrating insight.

  • Ignacio Ellacuría: Praxis Y La Realidad Histórica Ignacio
    PRAXIS. REVISTA DE FILOSOFÍA Nº 80 JULIO – dICIEMBRE 2019 http://dx.doi.org/10.15359/praxis.80.4 EISSN: 2215-3659 IGNACIO ELLACURÍA: PRAXIS Y LA REALIDAD HISTÓRICA IGNACIO ELLACURÍA: PRAXIS AND HISTORICAL REALITY Enrique Téllez Fabiani Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México [email protected] Recibido: 6 de octubre / Aprobado: 9 de octubre / Publicado: 27 de noviembre. 2019 Resumen: Se trata de plantear, de la manera más adecuada posible, la propuesta de “praxis” y “realidad histórica” de Ignacio Ellacuría. Dicho planteamiento es apenas un aspecto provisorio, dado lo prolífico de su obra. A la par de la guerra intestina que se desató en El Salvador en el último tercio del siglo XX, la filosofía de la liberación intentó dar una justificación teórica de los sectores más vulnerables. El pensamiento que surge a partir de estos hechos es eminentemente crítico, en el sentido de ser punto de partida de las víctimas. A partir de esta consideración, Ignacio Ellacuría se comprometió con la situación política. La propuesta es situar su pensa- miento en una política de la liberación en términos materiales (situado en la corporalidad), crítico (desde las víctimas) y negativo (desde el hambre). Palabras clave: Realidad histórica, liberación, praxis, historia, política. Abstract: The aim is to argue, in the most appropriate way possible, the proposal of “praxis” and “historical reality” of Ignacio Ellacuría. This approach is only a provisional aspect, given the prolific nature of his work. Along with the internal war that broke out in El Salvador in the last third of the 20th century, the philosophy of liberation attempted to provide a theoretical justification for the most vulnerable.

I have translated the German texts (e.g., from Kant, Hegel, Marx) on the basis of Dussel's Spanish translations of those texts, since he frequently utilizes ellipses to omit several pages and since other En- glish translations of these texts would not adequately convey Dus- sel's own reasons for combining such texts in a single quotation.

  • DUSSEL, Enrique
    DUSSEL, Enrique Enrique Dussel (b. 1934) has made innovative contributions to a number of fields, including the philosophy of liberation, ethics, political economy, theology and history. His more recent work offers the prospect of transcending the postmodernist/modernist debate from the ethical and historical standpoint of oppressed and excluded populations, primarily those of the global South. A key concept is that of the “analectic”, or “ana-dialectic”, in which Dussel claims to incorporate and transcend the Marxist dialectic which he sees as both negative and operating within the totality of the dominant world system. “Ana”, meaning “beyond” refers to the peoples outside that totality who he sees as (actually or potentially) mounting both a negative critique (of the oppression of the system) and a positive critique that counterposes an alternative, utopian horizon, drawing on their alternative cultural heritages and world views. Although working within the discipline of academic philosophy, he has always sought engagement with the oppressed and excluded, whether severely disabled people (in his youth), Palestinian labourers (in his 20s), or indigenous people of the Americas (in recent years). His key work, the “Ethics of Liberation in the Age of Globalisation and Exclusion” (2013: original Spanish: Ética de la Liberación en la Edad de la Globalización y de la Exclusión) makes acknowledgement to both the Guatemalan indigenous activist, Rigoberta Menchú Tum and the Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (Zapatista Army of National

  • Interpreting Enrique Dussel's Transmodernity
    Epistemological and Aesthetic Dimensions of Transmodernism: Linda Martín Alcoff’s and Alejandro Vallega’s Readings of Enrique Dussel by Omar Rivera Epistemological and Aesthetic Dimensions of Transmodernism: Linda Martín Alcoff’s and Alejandro Vallega’s Readings of Enrique Dussel [1] by Omar Rivera English Abstract This essay engages Linda Martín Alcoff’s and Alejandro Vallega’s interpretations of Enrique Dussel. It focuses on Martín Alcoff’s political epistemology and Alejandro Vallega’s aesthetics of liberation as furthering aspects of Dussel’s transmodern project. Specifically, these two approaches allow us to understand the epistemological and aesthetic ways in which cultures denied by European modernity are now in the process of constituting a transmodern cultural horizon. The essay ends by calling for a “transmodern aesthetic turn.” Resumen en español Este ensayo estudia cómo Linda Martín Alcoff y Alejandro Vallega interpretan a Enrique Dussel. Nos vamos a enfocar en la epistemología política de Martín Alcoff y en la estética de liberación de Vallega, y mostrar cómo ellos desarrollan aspectos de la transmodernidad de Dussel. Específicamente, estos planteamientos nos ayudarán a entender maneras epistemológicas y estéticas por las cuales culturas negadas por la modernidad Europea están ahora en un proceso de constituir un horizonte cultural transmoderno. El ensayo termina proponiendo un “giro estético transmoderno.” Resumo em português Este ensaio envolve as interpretações de Linda Martín Alcoff e Alejandro Vallega sobre Enrique Dussel.

On the one hand, the United States – which had proven itself as an international power through the expansion from the thirteen colonies, the war with Mexico, and the Spanish-American War – became after the Second World War a hegemonic force that would both assist and displace Northwestern Europe as the power-axis of the modern world-system. With this, Americanism – the triumphalist and assimilationist ideology of the United States which had already burst onto the scene with Theodore Roosevelt in the late nineteenth century – was decisively introduced to the rest of the world. This Americanist discourse would dictate the terms for the assimilation of non-Catholic European immigrants, some of which were seen as belonging to darker races.1 This ideology has taken various turns with McCarthyism and Reagan in the context of the Cold War, and today it takes on a new spirit in formulations like that offered by Samuel P.

El exilio se debió a la necesidad de abandonar el país de origen, tras un atentado de bomba por compromisos crítico-políticos a favor de los movimientos populares en tiempos previos a la dictadura militar argentina. Esposo de Johanna, padre de Enrique S. y de Susanne Chr. Correo electrónico: [email protected] Página web: www.enriquedussel.com www.afyl.org Enrique Dussel es reconocido internacionalmente por su trabajo en el campo de la Ética, la Filosofía Política y el Pensamiento Latinoamericano en general y por ser uno de los fundadores de la Filosofía de la Liberación, corriente de pensamiento de la que es arquitecto.
