NOTES ABOUT A LATÍN AMERICAN PHILOSOPHY

Abstract

"Latin America belongs to the peripheral nations of the West. Therefore, it is not a Western region, but a Westernized region", Arnoldo Mora tells us in this essay. And then he adds: "We are within the limits of the First World, while forming part of the Third World". According to the Costa Rican philosopher, this is an advantage from a philosophical point of view, allowing a critical conscience to mature, one necessary to finding our own place and to having our own say in this century now just beginning, a place far from the one that others have wanted to assign us up to the present day.
