Political Thought from the Periphery: A Framework for Approaching Contributions of Fermín Chávez and Juan Carlos Scannone

Abstract

The present article contributes to critical decolonial epistemology through the lens of Argentine national thought and the Philosophy of Liberation. To this end, it offers an introduction grounded in Fanonian decolonialism and the debate between particularisms and universalisms, understood as essential for the construction of situated thought. The article presents findings from a theoretical investigation that includes a profound reflection on colonial, historical, and epistemological forms of domination, as well as their impact on the concrete possibilities of building political alternatives based on the categories of people, political project, and communitarian ethical transcendentality.
