MATERIALES PARA UNA POLÍTICA DE LA LIBERACIÓN
by Enrique Dussel
Description
MATERIALS FOR A POLITICS OF LIBERATION This book tackles questions posed by modernity, the European colonial powers and capitalism as simultaneous phenomena. It also compare the ideas of Marx with those of Schelling; looks at the theme of politics in E. Levinas and the role played by tautological argument in imperial policy (from John Locke to George W. Bush); developing the concept of tolerance so as to go beyond mere solidarity; offering a critique of the quasi-anarchist ideas of John Holloway regarding the problems posed by political institutions and power and concluding with the hypothesis that the critical stance taken by the first two generations of the Frankfurt School would survive at the margins of the postcolonial world in the form of liberation philosophy, more specifically in the shape of the liberation politics emerging in the wake of the “shift toward decolonization” since the 1970s, which lies at the heart of all these studies, taking in years of research on the subject.
