"Chapter 1 Setting the Scene: The Iberian Conquest In Latin America, a number of philosophical doctrines developed as responses to some mainstream views of the Iberian colonial period - which extended, roughly, from the late 1500s to the early 1800s. This chapter looks closely at four doctrines whose central themes can be traced to that period. It begins by examining the doctrines of Bartolomé de las Casas (1474-1566) and Francisco de Vitoria (1486-1546) on the moral status of the actions of Spain, their native nation, during the early stages of the European modern expansion. From these doctrines of practical ethics and political philosophy, the chapter turns to José de Acosta (ca. 1539-1600) and his objections to Scholasticism in epistemology and philosophy of science. Pressured by the new physical and social realities of the Americas, these Spanish thinkers came to question the philosophical establishment of Spain and Portugal. As shown in the discussion here, in their ways they challenged some applications of the official philosophy of Roman Catholic Church, Thomism, that were common in these countries during the sixteenth century. A fourth doctrine considered below, by twentiethcentury Mexican philosopher and historian Edmundo O'Gorman (1906-1995), offers an anti-realist rejection of some beliefs about the "discovery" of America. Although O'Gorman's anti-realism is not altogether original, its application to this issue is. It also suggests that the end of the colonial period was far from marking the end of philosophical reflection on the Iberian expansion"--

Latin American philosophy is best understood as a type of applied philosophy devoted to issues related to the culture and politics of Latin America. This introduction provides a comprehensive overview of its central topics. It explores not only the unique insights offered by Latin American thinkers into the traditional pre-established fields of Western philosophy, but also the many 'isms' developed as a direct result of Latin American thought. Many concern matters of practical ethics and social and political philosophy, such as Lascasianism, Arielism, Bolívarism, modest and immodest feminisms, republicanism, positivism, Marxism, and liberationism. But there are also meta-philosophical 'isms' such as originalism and perspectivism. Together with clear and accessible discussions of the major issues and arguments, the book offers helpful summaries, suggestions for further reading, and a glossary of terms. It will be valuable for all readers wanting to explore the richness and diversity of Latin American philosophy.
