The Return of the Future and Questions of Knowledge (Abstract)
Aníbal Quijano
Beginning with a brief reflection on the disappearance of the dimension of the future from the critical horizon in the last decades of the 20th century, this text examines the relation between the imaginary, social actions, and modes of knowledge production. It concludes that there is a need to explore a parallel horizon of knowledge, based on a non-eurocentric rationality, and capable of opening the way for a return of the future as an emancipatory category.
