Enrique Ambrosini Dussel is and has been one of the most prolific Latin American philosophers of the last 100 years. He has written over fifty books, and over three hundred articles ranging over the history of the Latin American philosophy, political philosophy, church history, theology, ethics, and occasional pieces on the state of Latin American countries. Dussel is first and foremost a moral philosopher, a philosopher of liberation. But for him, philosophy must be liberated so that it may contribute to social liberation. In one sense, 'beyond philosophy' means to go beyond contemporary, academicized, professionalized, and 'civilized' philosophy by turning to all that demystifies the autonomy of philosophy and turns our attention to its sources. 'Beyond philosophy,' also means to go beyond philosophy in the Marxian sense of abolishing philosophy by realizing it. This is the definitive English language collection of Dussel's enormous body of work. It will allow the reader to get a good sense of the breath and depth of Dussel's opus, covering four major areas: ethics, economics, history, and liberation theology.

Mendieta's knowledge and versatility in both European and Latin American philosophy make him the natural scholar to edit a collection of Dussel's work on the ethics of liberation. This is a signal contribution that points toward another paradigm of knowledge.

Enrique Dussel's eclectic and ethical philosophy is as urgent to read as it was urgently written.
Doris Sommer, Ira Jewell Williams, Jr., Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures, and director of Graduate Studies in Spanish at Harvard
This fine collection of essays is a must-read for scholars interested in thought that brings the genuinely 'critical' dimension back to the world of ideas in this unfortunate age of disciplinary decadence.
Lewis R. Gordon, Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and Global Affairs, University of Connecticut
