The Liberating Philosophy of Ignacio Ellacura: Historical Reality, Humanism, and Praxis is the first systematic work on the philosophy of Ignacio Ellacura to be published in English so far. The Spaniard-Salvadorian philosophermurdered in Salvador in 1989 by the militarymaintains that philosophy is a permanent task grounded in metaphysics as first philosophy, as developed within a historical reality and a preferential option for the poor. As explored by this collection edited by Luis Arturo Martnez Vsquez, Randall Carrera Umaa, and Luis Ruben Daz Cepeda, Ellacuras theory is a critical and practical proposal immersed in the colonial history of Central America, but its explanatory and normative power extends to oppressed people all around the world. The contributors to this volume, coming from Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Salvador, and Costa Rica, analyze Ellacuras philosophy of liberation in conjunction with radical realism and strength, describing it as a philosophy created by people concerned with the problems and history of our landsuch as our colonial past, systemic poverty and dependencyand responding to these concerns can offer alternatives for a true liberation of all the dominated peoples of the world.
