Confessions of a researcher compromised with the ideas (with certain ideas…)
Keywords:
studies of ideas, Latin-American thought, peripheral thoughtAbstract
To answer the question “why and for what study Latin American ideas and thought?”, this presentation defends three motivations. First, a need of recognize the value of ideas and culture. Second, to affirm the option for the periphery, considering that there has been for centuries an “epistemicide”. Third, the option to investigate mainly the most romantic, “populist” expressions in the thinking of the global periphery.
