Opis

First published in Spanish in 2006, "Twenty Theses on Politics" is a major statement on political philosophy from Enrique Dussel, one of Latin America's - and the world's - most important philosophers and a founder of the philosophy of liberation. Synthesizing a half-century of his pioneering work in moral and political philosophy, Dussel presents a succinct rationale for the development of political alternatives to the exclusionary, exploitative institutions of neoliberal globalization. In twenty short, provocative theses he lays out the foundational elements for a politics of just and sustainable co-existence. Dussel first constructs a theory of political power and its institutionalization, taking on matters such as the purpose of politics and the fetishization of power. He insists that political projects must criticize or reject as unsustainable all political systems, actions, and institutions whose negative effects are suffered by oppressed or excluded victims.Turning to the deconstruction or transformation of political power, he explains the political principles of liberation and addresses matters such as reform and revolution. "Twenty Theses on Politics" is inspired by recent political transformations in Latin America. As Dussel writes in Thesis 15, regarding the liberation praxis of social and political movements, 'The winds that arrive from the South - from N. Kirchner, Tabare Vasquez, Luiz Inacio Lula, Evo Morales, Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro and so many others - show us that things can be changed. The people must reclaim its sovereignty!' Throughout the twenty theses Dussel engages with Latin American thinkers and activists and with radical political projects such as the World Social Forum. He is also in dialogue with theorists including Marx, Hegel, Habermas, Rawls, and Negri, offering insights into the applications and limits of their thinking in light of recent Latin American political thought and practice.
