REYES RODRIGUEZ, Alixon David. Tensions and contradictions in Latin American critical thinking. e-Rev. Multidiscip. Saber [online]. 2025, vol.3, e-RMS10072025.  Epub 23-Set-2025. ISSN 2960-2467.  https://doi.org/10.61286/e-rms.v3i.137.

This paper reviews and analyzes traditions, tensions, contradictions and alternatives of Latin American critical thought. For this purpose, documentary sources are used. The analysis allows affirming that, although it is true that there is a whole tradition within the framework of Latin American critical thought, it is valuable to reconsider the existing and persistent contradictions in the tradition, but also to review it from the current referents, noticing the epistemic presuppositions of the new currents of thought housed in the heart of Latin American critical thought. It is considered that, being an approach to reality, it is polyhedral, and that, being so, it inevitably has an impact on the daily life of people, communities and countries. That is why it is so relevant to aim at the resolution of existing contradictions, those that persist and generate new paths, alternatives for the advancement of the region within a framework of major ethical-political tensions.

Palavras-chave : Latin American critical thought; epistemic contradictions; ethical-political tensions; Euro-Westernism.
