Introduction:

Enrique Dussel, argentine philosopher, is one of the greatest exponents regarding Philosophy of Liberation as well as Latin-American critique. His work has reflected themes such as, politics, ethics and theology. Assuming a critical attitude concerning post-modernity, he has developed, dialoguing with other academicals, a broader perspective of intercultural dialogue which he designates transmodernity.
He is presently Professor of Ethics (Philosophy Department, Metropolitan Autonomous University/Iztapalapa and in UNAM – Mexico), as well as Coordinator of the Philosophy and Liberation Association (AFYL). Enrique Dussel has also been a Visiting Fellow and lecturer in numerous universities around the world.
