Is There A Latin American Thought? What Are Its Characteristics And Nature? What Distinguishes It From The Thinking Of Other Regions? What Are Its Main Expressions In Political, Cultural, And Social Life? These Questions Have Obsessed The Thinkers Of All Times And Countries In The Region. The Present Book Does Not Intend To Answer These Questions But Will Turn Them Into Matters Of Critical Scrutiny: How Did They Emerge? What Kind Of Anxieties Did They Denote? It Thus Seeks To Approach The Issue From A Historical-intellectual Perspective, Unraveling The Epochal Conceptual Foundations On Which The Very Interrogation Of Latin American Identity Has Been Formulated And Re-formulated. This Is Revealing Of The Intricacies Of The Dynamics Of The Production And Circulation Of Ideas In The So-called Peripheral Regions Of Western Culture. The Book Thus Takes The Latin American Case As A Platform To Address Theoretical Issues Whose Relevance Transcends The Specific Region-- Provided By Publisher.
