Scholar & philosopher & theologian Enrique Dussel is taken from us..
He was 88 years old..
Both of Argentinian & Mexican background..
Enrique Dussel was brilliant in laying forth a Latin American(caribbean too) Liberation Theology which remains very influential today.
But for me it was how he deconstructed Eurocentrism, for example he wrote:
"MODERNITY ELABORATED A MYTH OF ITS OWN GOODNESS, RATIONALIZED ITS VIOLENCE AS CIVILIZING, AND FINALLY DECLARED ITSELF INNOCENT OF THE ASSASSINATION OF THE OTHER."
[dn,11.15]
Signed: yep, GM always felt Prof. Enrique is/was right and that the colonizers & imperialists wrote history making themselves innocent and good and civilizing...grimreaper
btw, scholar Enrique Dussel was one of the first to have Kris Columbus try suicide--Kris read him and immediately jumped from the Eiffel Tower but luckily landed in Marine Le Pen's crotch😝😝
