Más allá de la cultura. Una contribución de la filosofía de la liberación latinoamericana para «otro cosmopolitismo»

In this article, I address the specific criticisms that Santiago Castro-Gómez directed towards Latin American Liberation Philosophy in the decade of 1990, and the general critiques that Seyla Benhabib directed towards the «claims of cultures» in the political arena, with the purpose to highlight the universalistic potential withing the writings of some of its most representative thinkers, as Enrique Dussel and Juan Carlos Scannone. In order to do this, I analyse the original rhetoric of the movement in light of the historical context of its emergence, and I offer some suggestions for an understanding of the tradition as a potential bearer of a "new starting point" for "another cosmopolitanism".
