PHIL-233 Latin American Philosophy
An overview of Latin American philosophy, from pre-Hispanic times to the present. We will examine how Latin American philosophy addresses traditional philosophical questions, including those about the nature of knowledge, language, beauty, and justice. We will also examine Latin American philosophy’s role in the Spanish conquest, the independence revolutions of the 19th century, the liberation struggles of the 20th century, and today’s class, race, and gender struggles. Finally, we will critically examine the notions of Latin American identity and Latina/o/x identity.
