| Sumario: | Daring to think as a Latin American philosopher means overcoming the spell of the concept and returning to the mythical nature of thinking, to its poetic, analogical and therefore critical dimension. Studying philosophy from Latin America often means the internalization of a prejudice against mythological thinking as a way of reflecting on philosophy. Recover the “analog” character of Reason and overcome the “univocity” of the concept, without resorting to “equivocality”, but rather to the possibilities that the “Similarity” of human experience offers us in a cultural dialogue without imposing a particular ethos as universal: without establishing a myth that conceals the Other, it is to make ontology an “Ontological Ethics” and philosophizing a process of Liberation, an anarcho-decoloniality of think. |
