The house of policy and its corruption:

an introduction on Enrique Dussel's political thinking

Abstract

This study first presents an introduction to Enrique Dussel's political thought. In a systematic way, the Argentine philosopher presents what he understands as a political field, the public and private spheres and the ways in which corruption permeates these spaces. The objective is to present a reflection on the ethical conduct of the politician that should be based on the other and not on personal interests. The way, according to Dussel, to solve the problem of alienating, hegemonic domination, which annihilates the other and turns him into a victim, is the development of the Philosophy of Liberation, presented, also in an introductory way, in the second part of this article.
