Expanded Course Description
| This course is an advanced introduction to philosophy as transcultural thought. The course focuses on one of the major figures in Latin American philosophy in the 20th century, Rodolfo Kusch. In his work Kusch develops a thinking between Western and non-Western thought by recognizing the non-Western lineages at work in Latin American modern consciousness. Kusch was a student of Heidegger’s work and of the Western tradition, all of which he reads against the background of indigenous and popular lineages still at the heart of Latin American consciousness today. In his writing Kusch brings together indigenous and popular thinking in Latin America with such figures as Freud, Kant, Hegel, and Derrida, besides rethinking Heidegger’s Dasein analysis and the sense of being-in-the-world in Being and Time, as well as taking up Heidegger´s later understanding of language and the work of art. Through the course we will read his work Indigenous and Popular Thinking in America, translated by Maria Lugones (2010). Some of the central issues discussed will include, time, space, nature, agency, pre-reflexive understanding, subjectivation, intimacy, embodiment, identity, metaphysics, ontology, poietic thinking, non-binary thinking, community, environment, cosmological thought, and decolonial and traditional epistemologies. Central to course discussions will be issues found in hermeneutics, phenomenology, and deconstruction. Classes will refer to the English translation. However, students able to read the original Spanish text are encouraged to do so. |
