Beyond Philosophy : Ethics, History, Marxism, and Liberation Theology, Hardback Book

Beyond Philosophy : Ethics, History, Marxism, and Liberation Theology Hardback

Edited by Eduardo Mendieta

Part of the New Critical Theory series

Hardback

Description

Enrique Ambrosini Dussel is and has been one of the most prolific Latin American philosophers of the last 100 years.

He has written over fifty books, and over three hundred articles ranging over the history of the Latin American philosophy, political philosophy, church history, theology, ethics, and occasional pieces on the state of Latin American countries. Dussel is first and foremost a moral philosopher, a philosopher of liberation.

But for him, philosophy must be liberated so that it may contribute to social liberation.

In one sense, 'beyond philosophy' means to go beyond contemporary, academicized, professionalized, and 'civilized' philosophy by turning to all that demystifies the autonomy of philosophy and turns our attention to its sources. 'Beyond philosophy,' also means to go beyond philosophy in the Marxian sense of abolishing philosophy by realizing it. This is the definitive English language collection of Dussel's enormous body of work.

It will allow the reader to get a good sense of the breath and depth of Dussel's opus, covering four major areas: ethics, economics, history, and liberation theology.
