Summary: | Latin American decolonialism has a prominent place in current criticism of Eurocentrism in the social sciences and humanities. This paper raises the problem of alterity in the decolonial thinking of Enrique Dussel through the hermeneutical exegesis of three main categories: exteriority, living work and victim. The purpose of this research is to determine the continuities and discontinuities of this problem in the theoretical work of the ArgentineMexican philosopher. As our theoreticalmethodological framework, we consider the notions of the de-colonial attitude and the Latin American hermeneuticphilosophical approach to liberation. In the conclusions, we show that the concept of alterity appears in Dussel’s early work associated with Levinasian ethical language. Later, a shift towards an economic-material reflection is evidenced in his mature work as a means to historically understand the oppression and exclusion of peripheral countries. |
