Summary: | Against War draws into conversation three very distinct thinkers: Enrique Dussel (1934–), professor of philosophy at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolintana in Mexico, Emmanuel Levinas (1906–1995), the Lithuanian-born French philosopher and Talmudic scholar, and Frantz Fanon (1925–1961), a postcolonialist social theorist from the French island of Martinique., Dussel's name is often associated with Latin American liberationist thought. As a political exile from Argentina, Dussel writes from first-hand knowledge about what is at stake in the Latin American struggle. While studying at the Sorbonne in Paris during the 1960s, Dussel was introduced to the works of Levinas. He was deeply impressed by them and has applied Levinas's thought to his own liberationist philosophy. |
