La filosofía intercultural de Raúl Fornet-Betancourt como crítica a la tradición occidental

Abstract

The present investigation focused on exposing the philosophical proposal made by Raúl Fornet-Betancourt as a criticism towards the traditional philosophical model, for which the concept of interculturality developed by this author has been taken into account, beginning with the analysis of the general postulates of Western and non-Western hegemonic thought. In addition, an analysis of intercultural thinking was carried out with the aim of defining its common characteristics with respect to traditional thinking, in order to substantiate the need for intercultural dialogue proposed by Fornet-Betancourt. In order to achieve these objectives, a documentary-bibliographic methodology was used, employing hermeneutical and comparative techniques aimed at reviewing pertinent texts and making contrasts between them.
