Disclaimer: We made this video to represent the Hispanic and Latin American' intellectual heritage in the hopes that people from other cultures can learn about the history and further understand the issues that are uniquely facing the Hispanic and Latin American communities. We understand that there is a difference between Hispanics and Latin Americans; however, since there is no Latin American Heritage Month in the USA, and the philosophers from two communities are generally treated as part of the same community, when we discuss the philosophers and their works, we will also be covering Latin American Philosophers during Hispanic Heritage Month. We also would like to have an actual Spanish or Portuguese speaking brother or sister doing the voice cover but since we don't really have anyone volunteering to do so, we did it ourselves.
Yoo It's a very timely video to release! Hispanic Philosophy is so underrepresented that you can't find anyone talking about it on the internet or in schools ... even people in our communities don't talk about it so thank you for making this video! Hope more people will see your videos and learn from it Ps: I don't know anything about Hispanic Philosophers and their thoughts so can't wait to see you make more videos on Hispanic Philosophers :)
Thank you! I hope you enjoyed it! I will be releasing another video on someone who's often considered the first Hispanic philosopher so I hope you'll also enjoy it :D
Thx for your videos! Do you have any knowledge about South American Philosophy before the Europeans destroyed much of the original cultures and philosophy? What about the philosophical thoughts of the Mayans, Aztecs and Inca and many more? To ask the question wider: what about native American philiosophy and the philosophy of the first nations. Do you have any reading suggestions and/or could you produce a video lecture? Also I would like to learn more on female philosophers from around the world as women are also suspiciously absent in my universities study materials. Thanks for your amazing work. I look forward to your next lectures.
Hey your English no problem! It's better than many native English speaker believe it or not. I understand it perfectly well. Thanks for your support. They certainly do exist even though they generally don't come in a certain format that philosophers and their work from other regions of the world publish because much of the work has already been destroyed and purposely erased. If you are looking for some things to read for the people (North of the Rio Grande), I would give these (both essays and books) a try. You can look some of them up on your university websites and download them for free if you are a college student (at least that's how it works in the US. I don't know how things work over there). - Alfred, Taiaiake. Wasáse: Indigenous Pathways of Action and Freedom. Reprint. Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2015. - Brandt, Richard P. Hopi Ethics.

I am also not too familiar with female philosophers, and their work isn't taught much in the US either. I just have not cover them since I don't know how much the videos are in demand (considering that an overwhelming majority of my audience are male and it take MANY MANY hours to produce just a single video) so I am just waiting to see how much people would actually be interested in watching these videos. When enough audience demands them, I will surely do in-depth analysis for them as well. :D Hope you continue liking the videos! Please give me feedbacks on the videos when you have time or something. I regularly check the comments to see how I can always improve!

Pls excuse my English. I am a student from Germany and English is not my mother tongue.

“A distinctly led American Philosophy does not exist.” So, I guess he (the philosopher) hasn’t heard about American Pragmatism.
Exactly! Anyone with any knowledge of non-Eurocentric world can smell the bs from a couple miles away
