Resumen (en)

IThe paper approaches, as a testimony, the theme of the history of the Bogota Group - which emerged at the University of Santo Tomás - and the Latin American Philosophy in the 1970s and 1980s, through the comments of authors and texts that have made the analysis and criticism of the same group. To do so, it uses the summer lessons of 1988, by Peter Sloterdijk, extracted from his text Coming into the world coming into language, which addresses the issue of birth as a “poetics of the beginning”. Five moments of the life of the group located in the philosophy of liberation movement in the continent and the country are described, so the first, the birth as a disconnection of a harmless and repetitive philosophy; second, the approach to the needs or urgencies of the nascent project; third, the creative emergence of the initiatives that gave rise to institutions and mediations still present in the life of the university and the country; the fourth moment, the delay or pause that is related to self-criticism; the fifth moment, the consolidation work close to maturity. Through the text appears the decisive role played in the formation of the group by the teachers of the Philosophy of Liberation, especially professor Enrique Dussel.
