Enrique Dussel y Paul Ricoeur: Pensar la Creatividad Normativa

Abstract

This essay explores the dialogue between Paul Ricoeur and Enrique Dussel on the potential and place of a philosophy of liberation within their respective philosophical commitments. The author suggests that although there is a tension between their different visions of liberation, both thinkers agree on the need to defend the agency of the subject and the subject's ability to create and recreate institutions in order to live according to the common good by way of respectfully integrating the perspective of the Other.
