Abstract

FOLLARI, Roberto. Populism and “Latin American Philosophy”: the Argentine Case. Frónesis [online]. 2006, vol.13, n.3, pp.100-117. ISSN 1315-6268.

The objective of this paper is to point out the homologous points and the ruptures found in the Argentine case, between populist discourse and so-called “Latin American” Philosophy. The purpose is to contribute to political and theoretical clarity in relation to phenomenon which within diverse practical fields (what is directly political and what is philosophical production) have played import roles in antagonistic moments of social confrontations: phenomenon which until now have been insufficiently analyzed both separately and in relation to possible mutual articulations.

Keywords : Populism; Latin-American philosophy; Argentina; discourse.
