Abstract
The long history of Latin America domination and exploration by theEuropean powers was accompanied by a struggle and resistance strongprocess, which contributed to the development of an original LatinAmerican thought. Taking Zea (1970), Dussel (1982) and Zimmermann(1987) as main theoretical, especially the philosophy of liberation and thenotion of “nonbeing”, this text discusses the context that made the birth of aLatin American philosophy posible, whose set of ideas sought to understandand to question the Latin America reality, especially in its cultural,economic, political and social dimensions. Thus, questioning the idea oftotality and affirming the Latin American reality specifics, the text identifiesthe valuation of this another thought, of this “native” philosophy, whichhelps us to think about and act from ourselves.
