El significado de la historia en Kusch y Reinaga y la construcción de un pensamiento indio-indígena

Abstract

The article reviews the relationship between history and philosophy in order to study the Indian-Indigenous question in Latin America. For this purpose, the authors analyze the meaning of history in the construction of the Indio-Indigenous thinking in a work of the Argentine philosopher Rodolfo Kusch, and the Quechua-Aymara thinker Fausto Reinaga. First, the researchers present the interdisciplinary methodology to study the Indio-Indigenous question in America. Second, the paper studies Kusch’s historical criticism in the book The Denial of Popular Thought (1975); and the reconstruction of the Indian history in Reinaga’s Kollasuyu in his work The Indian Revolution (1970). The article concludes with proposals for a history and philosophy concerned with Indian-Indigenous matters in the past and present.
