A polêmica entre Leopoldo Zea e Augusto Salazar Bondy sobre a existência de uma filosofia americana (1968-1969)

Abstract

This article analyzes the context and the arguments of the intellectual debate, held in 1968-69, between the Mexican philosopher Leopoldo Zea (1911-2004) and the Peruvian philosopher Augusto Salazar Bondy (1925-1974), whose central problem, the existence of a Latin American philosophy, has its roots in Argentine thinker Juan Bautista Alberdi’s (1810-1884) theory.
