Chilean Philosophy

Chilean philosophy reflects the unique cultural and historical context of Chile, engaging with issues such as identity, politics, and social justice. Influential thinkers like Miguel Serrano and Fernando Ortiz de Zárate explored existentialism, metaphysics, and ethics, often focusing on the impact of colonialism and modernization. The philosophical discourse also responds to political turmoil, particularly during and after the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, with emphasis on human rights and democracy. Contemporary philosophers continue to address global challenges, integrating Latin American perspectives with universal philosophical questions, enriching both local and global conversations.
