Abstract

This text will address the importance of interculturality within the social and political context of Chile, and then expand to demonstrate the challenges that arise in every place where cultural diversity is a daily fact. These challenges will be approached philosophically and then the text will venture a definition of intercultural philosophy that critically considers current relationships involving spaces of recognition of cultures in those territories where native peoples (as in Africa or America) have been made invisible or where the spread of migration in recent decades necessitates relationships that are far from being truly human. From here, interculturality will be presented as an object of philosophy followed by the presentation of some key ideas for critically advancing towards spaces where we are ready to recognize ourselves.
