Abstract

The interview presented here is a remote, digital exchange conducted from Uruguay to Mexico in March 2024, as part of the preparations for the Second World Meeting of the Association of Philosophy and Liberation (AFyL), four months after the death of philosopher Enrique Dussel, founder of the Philosophy of Liberation and former president of AFyL. The questions are posed by writer Gonzalo Abella to Gabriel Herrera Salazar, author of, among others, the book "Politics of Liberation III. Creative Criticism," edited by Enrique Dussel. The dialogue seeks lines of critical continuity, commonalities, and distinctions between the theoretical approaches of Marxism-Leninism and Liberation Philosophy, an urgent concern given the death of the founder of this paradigm, a tool that serves as a reference for praxis and innovative theorization of critical social sciences.
