Abstract

I thank Jaime Santamaría for the very kind review of my book, and also the colleagues of Eidos, the Journal of Philosophy of the University of the North, for inviting me to offer an answer. Actually, it is very interesting how Jaime has approached the book from the perspective of the path traveled, emphasizing the passage of - what he calls - the “genealogical books” to the “political books”. I would just like to clarify that it is not an absolute break. It is true that my first books moved near the genealogical perspective of Michel Foucault, but also of the Latin American decolonial theory.
