Filosofía jurídica latino americana en el siglo XXI. La (re)insurgencia histórica del derecho de los pobres y la naturaleza: el iusmaterialismo

Abstract

This article aims to contribute to the answer to the question: how to get out of the current state of alienation and ideological-legal indigence in Latin America in the 21st century? In the first part, it is mapped the current diffusion of the two historically dominant colonial hegemonic legal traditions in the Continent: the natural law and the iuspositivism. In a second moment, it is identified today the plurality of counter hegemonic critical legal thoughts (philosophies-theories) in Latin America. The last part of the article appeals to the urgency of empowerment, to the (re)insurgency, of the liberating legal paradigm proper to the poor and to nature: the iusmaterialism. It inquiries about its main postulates and possibilities, revealing in dialogue the limitations and ideological complicities of the iusnaturalist and iuspositivist traditions, as well as some lacks of the post positivism in critical legal thinking. Methodologically, there search welcomes the ideological-legal mode (perspective). The fundamental technique is the bibliography. In particular, for the mapping, we follow the works Filosofía del Derecho en Latinoamérica (2012), by Rodolfo Vázquez, and Teoría Crítica del Derecho desde América Latina (2017), by A. C. Wolkmer. For the iusmaterialist contribution is used mainly our works Filosofía de la Revolución (2008) and Teoría Socialista del Derecho (2011).
