Latin American Utopia and Praxis

International Journal of Ibero-American Philosophy and Social Theory

Latin American Utopia and Praxis It arises as a response to the current political conflict affecting democracy and Latin American society. But it also arises as a response committed to the philosophical analysis and historical interpretation of culture and the social sciences in the face of the crisis of Modernity. This response seeks to create new actors and scenarios from which unprecedented alternatives for critical theory and effective social change can emerge. It is a response in two senses: utopian, because every authentic existential project must be framed and defined by the universe of its human values; and practical, because, unlike
The necessary theory implies a type of action whose movement is capable of dialectically shaping our understanding of reality, but also of transforming the subjects who constitute it. Thus, the notion of praxis leads us back to politics, ethics, and, today, science and technology. It is a response from Latin America, because it is from Latin American being and thinking that the praxis of our utopian project becomes achievable.

Utopia and Latin American Praxis is a publication sponsored by the Council for Scientific and Humanistic Development of the University of Zulia (CONDES) and in which the Working Group on Marxisms and Resistances of the Global South.
