Description
Summary:Against the backdrop of the contrast of the current spiritual situation, which many call 'postmodern', and the spiritual situation of the time when the 'theology of the people' emerged, marked by the (modern?) impulse of the involvement of the people as protagonists of history, the present article proposes a path of 'conversation' in which, assuming the challenge of the disparity of spirit and time, it is shown that dialogue is not only possible but even necessary to think and act more intensely in our time. This path is illustrated on the basis of the dialogue that intercultural philosophy has maintained and maintains with this tradition of the theology of the people and of liberation in general.
