Latin American Philosophy and the Place of Alejandro Korn

The development of philosophical ideas in Latin America has tended to reflect the major philosophical thought in Europe. There probably has been greater interest in philosophical ideas in Latin America than in the United States. In many instances, this interest has manifested itself not in the creative development of the content of philosophy but rather in the support which philosophical positions could provide proponents of the status quo or reformers with a basis for justification of social, political, educational, economic or religious programs. There has developed in many Latin American countries during this century an increasing number of works which are concerned with the theoretical aspect of philosophy
