La identidad cultural latinoamericana en José Martí y Luís Villoro: Estado plural, autonomía y liberación en un mundo globalizado

Abstract

In today’s global world of the xxist Century, the discourse of the one and only thought has been characterized by emphasizing empiricism and substituting philosophical and political reflection by a pragmatic thought, conservative and non critical. The task of recuperating the critical social Latin American thought is today a matter that does not admit delay for the social sciences in Latin America. In this sense, the present article has for its object to show the great importance and contribution to critical thought of two of the foremost and original Latin American thinkers: José Martí and Luis Villoro. The significant contributions of both of them are evident, rightly so, thru their reflections on the identity, culture, State and liberation in Latin America. Said reflections result in a central and present importance in the era of cultural globalization of national identities within the world order.
