Perspectivas para pensar y problematizar un filosofar indígena desde América Latina

Abstract

The purpose of the present investigation is to problematize the way in which indigenous philosophy has been thought out from some research focused on certain cultures of the Latin American context. This problematization has as its starting point the place occupied by the indigenous philosophy within the framework of Latin American philosophy, because this allows to have clarity about the recognition that it has had on the part of the philosophical academy and, likewise, to go scrutinizing which have been the contributions and objections referred to this philosophical project. Thus, some of the problems that are addressed in the present investigation are: What is understood by philosophy when speaking of indigenous philosophy? Who is the philosophical subject who speaks on behalf of the community? Is the language of the indigenous communities adequate for the formulation of philosophical problems? Is there a distance between religious knowledge and philosophical knowledge within indigenous thinking? What are the bibliographical sources that support the realization of an indigenous philosophy?
