Presentation
In a world where the struggle for justice and dignity is waged in the streets as well as in ideas, Mind and Politics. Dialectics and Realism from the Perspective of Liberation emerges as an indispensable work for those seeking to understand and transform power structures.
The book invites the reader to explore the connections between theories of knowledge, political action, and social philosophy through an innovative interpretation of the relationship between theory and practice. With an ethical-political commitment that does not shy away from reality, the author challenges us to rethink the role of philosophy in the struggle for liberation.
Starting from a critical analysis of metaphysical realism and dialectics, Mind and Politics proposes a new vision: a realist dialectic that does not resign itself to the injustices of the existing order, but remains open to the exteriority and demands of the victims. Confronting both liberal political philosophy and deterministic social science, this work argues that the only legitimate perspective is that of those who suffer under current power structures.
Drawing on thinkers such as Charles Taylor, Ellen Meiksins Wood, and Enrique Dussel, the author offers a contrast between the “figures of limits” proposed by postmodern philosophy and the “figures of liberation” that emerge from thinking constructed from the margins. Mind and Politics is an invitation to a deep and committed reflection and a call to action for all those who are not satisfied with an unjust world.
