  • Makes the text more suitable for teaching than most other texts in the field.

• Discussions of current issues.

  • Offers students philosophical ideas about present-day controversies they are familiar with, such as poverty, racism, and the distribution of wealth.

• Articles that illustrate contrasting points of view.

"This is a very timely, well thought out, pedagogically savvy, and articulately presented introductory reader to Latin American thought . ... I think that Nuccetelli and Seay have developed a wonderfully useful book." — Eduardo Mendieta, SUNY at Stony Brook

"This is really excellent, and will be a wonderful, unique, very useful, and timely contribution. It is broad in scope, but well-organized and helpfully focused on topics of interest today. ... There is no book that even approximates the scope or usefulness of this collection." — Linda Martin Alcoff, Syracuse University

Susana Nuccetelli and Gary Seay's text, Latin American Philosophy: An Introduction with Readings, makes original and translated writings of Latin American thinkers available on a variety of philosophical problems. These problems include the nature of philosophy, rationality, justice, human rights, cultural identity, and many other questions that have concerned them from the colonial period to the present day.

• Invites discussion of topics currently generating considerable interest in philosophy
• Offers contrasting views, facilitating a deeper understanding of the issues of Latin American philosophy
• Reconstructs the history of ideas in Latin America with an emphasis on philosophical topics
• Introduces students to major social figures advocating clearly defined ideologies, in which issues easily lend themselves to philosophical debate
• Promotes cross-cultural understanding by selecting topics which affect all Latino groups
• Provides vivid examples for students' appreciation, especially on topics such as fairness in the distribution of wealth, the persistence of poverty, racism, and the liberation of women
