PHIL 2350 Latin American Philosophy


The course addresses what it means to be racially or ethnically Latin American, and how Latin American regions have formed identities around race, gender, ethnicity, and nationality. It addresses how colonialism continues to impact how we understand the identity of Latin America and examines the philosophical tradition of Latin America as it interrogates the importance learning about Latin American philosophy as a way of overcoming oppressive colonial histories. The course examines the ways in which philosophy outside of the United State and Europe is constructed, disseminated, and represented as it addresses issues of cultural identity, race, gender, and the geographical and discursive relationships of different countries throughout Latin America.
