Kusch y la verdad radicalmente situada. Una perspectiva decolonial de la historia

Abstract

Abstract

The article examines the conception of history presented throughout the different works of the philosopher Rodolfo Kusch. His criticism of the so-called mestizo historiography is articulated on a broader conception of culture as an ethical option configured from the historical-political response of every society to the fear that characterizes existence. This response, categorized as learned or popular thinking, as being or being-there, as logical or seminal thinking, configures specific ways of considering historical events and the truth of history. It also allows us to understand disputes over historical truth not only as a result of disciplinary or philosophical logic, but as a survival strategy at the level of situated experience.
