After the ontological categories of indigenous thought from the proposal of the radical difference ontologies

Abstract

This article examines the importance of ontological reflection as a framework for approaching indigenous and popular thought, and the possible contributions that emerge therein for the construction of an ontology in Latin American perspective. With this purpose, at first, we analyze Heideggerian ontology and its critique of metaphysics, a horizon that made possible the emergence of relational ontologies and radical difference as those that recognize the diversity of perspectives and the interconnection between the different elements of reality. Subsequently, made possible by these relational ontologies and radical difference, we approach and propose a reading of indigenous and popular thought in an ontological key as a contribution to philosophy and ontology in Latin America.
