For more than five centuries, Latin America has lived its culture influenced by its relationship with the West. The question cannot be simplistically referred to the slave-master scheme, since over time the actors involved have changed, several times, not only position, but also “meaning”. Latin American culture has in fact taken up, reinvented and overturned the stimuli, currents and ideas that came (and were often imposed) from the salons and academies of European and American cities. So today, on the centenary of Leopoldo Zea's birth, one can finally answer in the affirmative to the famous and provocative question, ¿Existe una philosophía en nuestra América?, which Augusto Salazar Bondy threw against the intelligentsia of his country in 1968.
Through the contributions of scholars such as Mauricio Beuchot, Anna Boccuti, Giuseppe Cacciatore, Horacio Cerutti Guldberg, Enrique Dussel, Serge Latouche, Mario Magallón Anaya and Blas Matamoro, the first issue of Pagine Inattuali, moving between literary suggestions and philosophical analyzes, reflects on these themes and intends to offer an insight into that debate that has characterized the Latin American continent for decades.
