 Latin American themes are recurrent in the philosophy of social sciences of the region. Palti has been very active in this field: he studied the nineteenth century Latin American intellectual history in the context of the thesis of the essential contestability of concepts (2005), considered the limitations of the notion of “misplaced ideas” by means of which Roberto Schwarz analyzed the dynamics of ideas in Latin America (2006), and critically examined the radical transformation in the ways of conceiving the process leading to the break of colonial ties that linked Latin America with Spain (2009). Other authors share this interest in regional problems, such as Pablo Oyarzún (2007) who focused on Latin American singularities, Gustavo Leyva (2014) who considered how the democratic project was reformulated and radicalized in Latin America over the last decades, and Ambrosio Velasco Gómez (2015) who proposes an original thesis about the intellectual roots of Mexican independence.
