Intercultural Philosophy and our Deep Améfrica

Abstract

The present text reflects about interculturality and its historical necessity, through two central authors: Raúl Fornet-Betancourt and Lélia González. The own knowledge of the native and the black people has been invisibilized and is not even recognized as philosophical knowledge. When an Amerindian philosophy is recognized, it is by comparison with Western philosophy and all that it has produced. In this sense, Intercultural Philosophy presents the challenge of rethinking philosophy based on other thought experiences. Epistemicide exposes the racism that we live. The encounter of the Cuban philosopher with the Brazilian philosopher, a black woman, will give strength to a category of thought that I intend to develop here (Deep Améfrica) in order to better understand this country called Brazil and the way in which the resistances of indigenous and black peoples were also constituted from deep intercultural experiences.
