GIORGIS, Liliana. Leopoldo Zea: Proposals for an Equally Desirable Future for All. Estud. filos. práct. hist. ideas [online]. 2006, n.8, pp.45-52. ISSN 1851-9490.

L. Zea's thinking begun to take shape during the 1940s; they are part of a representative legacy to Latin American philosophy and, more specifically, to the history of Latin American ideas. The reflections in his books, also presented at discussion forums all over the world, always tried to disclose the meaning of our history in order to enlighten and to organize the knowledge and the practices of our spiritual life, this being so without neglecting our concern about the way our history and culture articulate with the universal history and culture. Moreover, his work nourishes a tradition always aimed at strengthening the ideals of freedom, people's autonomy, and integration, and especially the capacity to "imagine future societies just as desirable for all", as don Leopoldo would say.

Palabras clave : Latin American philosophy; History of Latin American ideas; Culture; History.
