 The philosophy of liberation was a movement that originated in South America in the early 1970s. In the beginning, it mixed elements of liberation theology, dependency theory, and Latin American philosophy. Enrique Dussel (b. 1934 in Argentina) is the main representative of the philosophy of liberation in Mexico. Among his numerous works, which have been translated widely into other languages, are Filosofía de la liberación (1977 [2003]) and Ética de la liberación en la edad de la globalización y la exclusión (1998 [2013]). Dussel has offered a comprehensive critique of Western history and philosophy from the point of view of the poor and the excluded, particularly in Latin America. The Dusselian branch of the filosofía de la liberación is a vigorous movement with students all over the world. (See the related entry on  the philosophy of liberation)
