Transmodernity as the fifth stage of the ecological-decolonial praxis of the philosophy of liberation
Abstract
This paper is a presentation at an international colloquium held at the University of Nanterre (France) from 21 to 22 November 2023, a few days after the death of Enrique Dussel. This paper locates the relevance of the thought of the philosophy of liberation in the present, particularly with regard to the concept of Transmodernity. Critical observations are made on the concept of the political and politics used by Dussel, based on a periodisation that is not limited to the past to the present, but rather attempts to prospectively locate the tasks and the future of this thought, so that it continues to contribute to the specific intellectual praxis of philosophical and social-scientific reflection. Furthermore, as a prospective horizon that tries to suggest possible political-epistemic meanings for the communities, from searches for concrete utopias as collective trials and experimentations. For this, the implicit ontology of the political in Dussel should be set aside and a version of the political as an empty space should be assumed, to be filled by social movements in the dispute for the allocation of meaning and direction of the present as a search for post-neoliberal perspectives.
