  • José Enrique Rodó: the Birth of Latin America out of Spiritual Revolt
    Interdisciplinary Journal for Religion and Transformation in Contemporary Society 5 (2019) 182–200 brill.com/jrat José Enrique Rodó: The Birth of Latin America Out of Spiritual Revolt Hans Schelkshorn Department for Christian Philosophy, University of Vienna Schenkenstraße 8–10, 1010 Wien, Austria [email protected] Abstract In the second half of the 19th century positivism became the official state doctrine of many countries in southern America. Around 1900, however, the authoritarian positiv- istic regimes were increasingly criticized due to their cultural imitation on the Anglo- Saxon world and the atheistic ideology. In this context, José Enrique Rodó, a poet and philosopher of Uruguay, called for a critical and creative re- adoption of the “Latin” roots of southern America, specifically Greek culture and early Christianity. In his essay “Ariel” (1900), Rodó sparked a spiritual revolt that especially affected the youth of the whole continent. In contrast to Nietzsche but on the basis of secular reason, Rodó defended a religion of love, which inspired important philosophies in the 20th century, from José Vasconcelos and Antonio Caso to the theologies and philosophies of liberation. Thus, “Latin America” as a self- designation of the South American peoples was essentially inaugurated through the spiritual revolt initiated by José Enrique Rodó. Keywords philosophy of religion – Latin American philosophy – positivism Introduction Fully unnoticed by the European public, on 1 May 1917, José Enrique Rodó dies in a hotel in Palermo, having worked for over a year in Spain, France and Italy as the correspondent for two Argentinian journals.
