My work aims to reflect on contemporary politics through a fictional dialogue between philosophers and, from there, to construct a critical idea about the different approaches and contexts in which thought is rooted. The dialogue seeks, in the first place, to stage Richard Rorty’s political-pragmatic view. Secondly, Enrique Dussel’s political perspective of liberation, and then bring to the same stage Ernesto Laclau’s sociological and philosophical vision with the intention of generating a projective vision of the politics of the third millennium. With this, I pursue a broader understanding of what it implies to think contemporary democratic politics from Latin America.
