Abstract

SANCHEZ-ANTONIO, Juan Carlos. Beyond the heleno-eurocentric vision ofhistory: the place of (Latin) America in transmodern world history. memorias [online]. 2021, n.44, pp.8-36.  Epub Dec 07, 2021. ISSN 1794-8886.  https://doi.org/10.14482/memor.44.980.

The article tries to contribute to the destruction of the helenocentric and eurocentric vision of universal history that has excluded Latin America from antiquity, from philosophy, politics, education, and religion. Likewise, we will reinforce the thesis that the origin of Greek philosophy is Egyptian, and it is also black. F. Hegel thinks that the history of the absolute spirit comes from east to west, with Europe at its center, Africa eliminated from history, and with (North) America as a possibility. The history of world politics, religion, and philosophy are not geographically and historically limited to the East and Europe, but must extend to America, with its two great civilizations with autonomic development: Mesoamerica and Inca, as fundamental pillars of world history, just like Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, and China. In the end, the posture of building a new way of making history from a transmodern and post-capitalist global inter-civilizational dialogical horizon is reinforced.

Keywords : Colonial history; modernity; eurocentrism; hellenocentrism; epistemic decolonization.
