ABSTRACT      Even though Patočka never acheived a critique of the political limits of Husserl´s and Heidegger´s philosophies, he did clearly set the limits of those philosophies, limits after which the phenomenological philosophy of Patočka adopts a new dimension. En this paper we argue that vis-a-vis Husserl`s and Heidegger´s limitations, it is indeed possible to find in Patočka solid elements upon which to achieve a political and social philosophy in the strongest sense of the word -and therefore, also an ethic-, that can contribute significantly to Latin America thought in a phenomenological sense, as well as the ongoing development of the contemporary world. Patočka´s idea of philosophy represents a meaningful advance in phenomenological philosophy, and allows us to distance ourselves from idealism -whether transcendental or ontological-.
