While recognizing its origins and scope, Alejandro A. Vallega offers a new interpretation of Latin American philosophy by looking at its radical and transformative roots. Placing it in dialogue with Western philosophical traditions, Vallega examines developments in gender studies, race theory, postcolonial theory, and the legacy of cultural dependency in light of the Latin American experience. He explores Latin America's engagement with contemporary problems in Western philosophy and describes the transformative impact of this encounter on contemporary thought.

The ecommunitarian plural tendency, an indispensable guide for a new historical sense, shares A. Lincoln's definition of democracy: "government of the people, by the people and for the people", where intercultural experiences constitute the fertile ground for exchanging Good Living , regulated by an Environmental Education as a process of awareness composed of the "critical unveiling of the oppressions and devastations that we live-witness and the transforming-overcoming action of the same". Indeed, one of the purposes is to transform society in an ecommunitarian sense at all levels, from the local to the planetary, preparing the qualitative change that will open the doors of a large-scale transition to replace capitalism with a dignified, decent, values, aesthetics, ethics, practice, science and participation.

"In 1961, at the age of nineteen, Jorge J. E. Gracia escaped from the island of Cuba by passing himself off as a Catholic seminarian. He arrived in the United States with just a few spare belongings and his mother's diamond ring secured in a hole in one of his shoes. With a Diamond in My Shoe tells the story of Gracia's quest for identity--from his early years in Cuba and as a refugee in Miami to his formative role in institutionalizing the field of Latin American philosophy in the US academy. Committed to integrating into Anglo America without forgetting his roots, Gracia reflects on his struggles and successes as an immigrant and academic, bringing a philosopher's eye to bear on his personal and professional development as a leading Latinx scholar"--
