Crítica a la modernidad y derechos humanos desde la filosofía de Ignacio Ellacuría

Abstract

I analyze a main concept of the Philosophy of the Liberation of Ignacio Ellacuría, through which he carry out the critique of Modernity: the civilization of poverty. I establish the consequences that this criticism brings to the conception and foundation of human rights, and I propose to understand them, from Latin America, as tools of liberation struggles of the various emerging subjectivities.
