Editorial: Enrique Dussel and ethics for latin american liberation

Abstract

In his work "For an Ethics of Latin American Liberation" (1973), the Argentine philosopher, nationalized as Mexican, Enrique Dussel, attempts to ontologically base his ethical position by taking a historical tour of the different philosophical visions around the ethical issue. We will not enter here to judge the categories present in his speech, since we will only take a tour of his reflections in the first two chapters of volume I of the aforementioned text.
