Description

Available in English for the first time, this much-anticipated translation of Enrique Dussel’s Ethics of Liberation marks a milestone in ethical discourse. Dussel is without doubt one of the world’s foremost philosophers. This treatise, at the start published in 1998, is his masterwork and a cornerstone of the philosophy of liberation, which he helped to found and develop.

Throughout his career, Dussel has sought to open a space for articulating new possibilities for humanity out of, and in light of, the suffering, dignity, and creative drive of individuals who have been excluded from Western Modernity and neoliberal rationalism. Grounded in engagement with the oppressed, his thinking has figured prominently in philosophy, political theory, and liberation movements around the globe.

In Ethics of Liberation, Dussel provides a comprehensive world history of ethics, demonstrating that our most fundamental ethical and moral traditions didn’t emerge in ancient Greece and develop through brand new European and North American thought. The obscured and ignored origins of Modernity lie outdoor the Western tradition. Ethics of Liberation is a monumental rethinking of the history, origins, and aims of ethics. This is a very important reorientation of ethical theory.
