Abstract (en)
The monographic number about “historia y cultura del pensamiento latinoamericano” (history and culture in the Latin-American thinking) begins and ends is opened and closed with two articles that locate the Latin-American thinking, both from the history of the ideas’ perspective and from the contemporary politic philosophy; namely: teacher Álvaro Acevedo Gutiérrez in “América: identidad, integración e independencia” (America: identity, integration and Independence) develops systematically the nominal thesis regarding the category of “lo americano” (America’s own features) and its configuration throughout the XVI to XIX centuries, with special attention on how the gentes de saber (educated people such as Juan Pablo Viscardo y Guzmán, Hipólito de Unanue, Francisco de Miranda, Andrés bello, Fray Servando Teresa de Mier, Félix Varela y Simón Bolívar, among others) understand the existence and the essence of “lo americano” from their visions of identity, integration and independence. In the other hand, master Mario Magallón Anaya in the text “El problema del sujeto en la posmodernidad occidental” (the problem of the subject in the occidental postmodernity) questions subjectivity and modern subject as categories, when considering the Latin-American as a being that has become a subject throughout time and through its vindicatory struggles until nowadays, based on frameworks regarding the liberal-democratic tradition, human rights and the political and social movements.Abstract (es)
El número monográfico sobre “historia y Cultura en el Pensamiento Latinoamericano” se abre y se cierra con dos artículos que ubican el pensamiento latinoamericano, tanto desde la perspectiva de la historia de las ideas, como desde la filosofía política contemporánea, a saber: el profesor Alvaro Acevedo Gutiérrez en “América: identidad, integración e Independencia”, desarrolla de forma sistemática la tesis nominal sobre la categoría de “lo americano” y su configuración a lo largo de los siglos XVI a XIX, centrando su reflexión en las formas como las “gentes de saber” (Juan Pablo Viscardo y Guzmán, Hipólito de Unanue, Francisco de Miranda, Andrés bello, Fray Servando Teresa de Mier, Félix Varela y Simón Bolívar, entre otros) comprenden el ser y la esencia de lo americano desde sus visiones de “identidad”, “integración” e “independencia”. Por su parte, el maestro Mario Magallón Anaya en el texto “El problema del sujeto en la posmodernidad occidental”,cuestiona las categorías de “subjetividad” y de “sujeto” moderno al considerar al latinoamericano como un ser que ha devenido en sujeto a través del tiempo y de sus luchas reivindicatorias hasta el día de hoy, desde los marcos de la tradición liberal-democrática, los derechos humanos y los movimientos políticos y sociales.
