Abstract

Abstract Known for his contributions to philosophy of liberation, particularly as applied to ethics, political philosophy, history, and theology, Enrique Dussel is one of the most prominent Latin American philosophers of the second half of the twentieth century. This entry traces Dussel's philosophical development from a re‐evaluation of history and theology in Latin America to a philosophy of liberation, particularly an ethics of liberation, as well as political philosophy in relation to globalization. Dussel has also done extensive work in related areas by presenting a critique of Marx's writing in connection to philosophy of liberation, as well as critiques on discourses on the idea of modernity from the perspective of the periphery. Since the 1960s, Dussel has sought to delineate the contours of a philosophy of liberation, while grounding his ideas in key fields (ethics, political philosophy, history, theology, phenomenology, political economy) and how these can lead to praxis of liberation.
