La influencia de Zubiri en la filosofía de la religión de América latina

Abstract

This text aims at defining the possibilities that open up to Latin American philosophy of religion on the basis ofXavier Zubiri's work, and ata broader level, on the basis of the central intuitions of phenomenology. It therefore starts by clarifying in which sense can there be a reference to a philosophy of religion in Latin America. Secondly, it continues with a brief description of the phenomenological philosophy of religion in Zubiri, and its treatment by l. Ellacuría andA. González, always under the assurance that Zubiri's philosophy constitutes the materialization and the possibility of a phenomenological philosophy of religion in Latin America. Thirdly, it suggests that even these philosophies of religion developed in Latin America must be subject to the critica! probe that comes through the emergence of phenomenology: the always imperfect and criticisable permanent search of a principie over all principies. For this reason, fourthly, it brings about sorne of the recent French phenomenology's ideas and, finally suggests sorne criticisms to the contemporary hermeneutics that abandon the possibility of searching a radical principie for philosophy.
